Setting on all three now.

The rear leg has a left hand thread on top and

right hand on bottom, gives about 10° adjustment each way.

Next year for the magazine.

Take care , have a good one

Yes on heat treat.

O1 can easily be hardened at home.

Looking at your breech backplate on page 8, I don\'t see a bolt extractor port. Not really needed?

I use no bolt extractor.

I unscrew the cascabel & cocking switch knobs,

and remove the breech plate. Access through

the recoil plate, finger push. The aluminum plug

you see just keeps the bolt on track.

Any one of the coop builders have the diagram for the casing. Mine shows the opening for the magazine as .3200 x 1.25 I do not believe that is correct and Cutter is on vacation :mrgreen:

Can you throw any details about the cocking ring and switch? I\'m staring at this offset cut on the segments trying to decide how I want to do it.

Great minds think alike. I just did exactly that. What is the tall part at the sear release hole for? Do the bolts have to go between that or are the short of it? I like how you made the cocking switch work.

The head of the shear screw drops through, then recoil between the high point and bolt cap
