When scale smaller, some details may be lost or difficult to print.
The breech-screw threads were made coarser so they would work down to 1:96 scale. Because the separate lever and breech screw wouldn't likely work in smaller scales, use the file lever-screw.stl instead.
The keeper-pin holes in the lever will likely not print, and need to be drilled out. Wires will need to be inserted to do the job of the keeper-pins.

To figure out re-scaling in your slicer; divide 36 (the model is 1:36 scale) by the scale you want; for instance: 36/76 = .474 or 41%; 36/96=.375 or 38%, etc.
