The yoke therfefore became minutely mis-aligned.
Often a little bit of a twist by hand was enough to correct the situation.
Of course in this day and age, most gun shops do not have sales help
with more idea of what they are selling that matching the serial number on the box to that on the gun.
Can you tell me what the cure is, TG or WRM? Is it usually to fix the yoke or to replace the yoke? Thanks much.
