S&S Action UNjam

[Fenton Murray]

Maybe the photos aren't that clear. I levered out the action with straps
around the brackets. The lever was a 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 of maple 4' long. Fulcrum
was a 4x4 block wrapped in leather against the strectcher.  I could have
lifted a VW with the amount of force I used.
