Thanks guys, it was one of those pop into your head out of nowhere things. It was a chalange getting the linkage right so it would open right.
Works as a saftey also, ya can`t prime the pan with match on the gun.

Pitchy,
Now, you just might be able to get a patent on that mechanism if you wanted to.
I am impressed, truely I am. The inventive geinous on this and some other boards is amazing. That is what is so great about America. Our inventive spirit is allowed to soar!
Sorry, got carried away for a moment, hee hee!

Thanks i appreciate the kind words, it should work good, i`m thinking about a latch that will hold the lever down and the cover open for priming and brushing out the bore. :hmm:

Pitchy,
I know just what you mean! I sometimes cannot keep myself from inventing parts while the Pastor is preaching. I am ashamed, but it is better than falling asleep. Sometimes when I am waking in the morning I start inventing parts. Tsk, Tsk!

I think of a lot of things to make while riding my bike. :grin:

 

[jeepwj992002]

I know what you mean. I think of things I would like to create. My big problem is remembering to write them down.

Yep, ya got to act quick before they get away. :haha:

 

[PitchyPine]

I was thinking maybe a small billows under the lever with a tube running up to the match to keep it nice and bright while aiming. :hmm: :haha:

 

[54mountain]

I'd laugh at that billows idea, But it just might work. :rotf:

 

[Leonredbeard]
