I’ve been looking for a 1620 with straight stock and single trigger, and finally scored. Actually, a member of this forum (Buck MN) contacted me with one to sell. I picked it up at my FFL today and will take it to the sporting clay range this weekend.

My question is whether there is a grace period before I have to start wearing tweed jackets and driving a Range Rover?

No tweed required for single trigger guns- you’re safe. Congrats .

Good news on the tweed, another reason to like the single trigger....
I’ve updated my signature , but will have to see about posting pictures here.

Congratulations on your new 1620. It's on my bucket list, and I know the right one will come along someday, but yours must have found you judging on how quickly your search went. Well done.

The action is very tight now. After closing the action, the cross bolt remains protruding about 1/4" from the left side of the action. I assume that this is just a tight action and not evidence of something wrong. I typically use a thicker grease type lube on my o/u guns, but I'm not sure that there is enough clearance for grease. What type of lubricant would you all recommend?

Not tweed. This fine gun is German so leather bundhosen are required. And a jagdmesser in the thigh pocket.

I would put grease on the hinge pin only and a high quality oil such as FP10 everywhere else.
