BonsaiDiver,
I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself from giving you a hard time. I knew what you were doing, but I guess I can hardly imagine someone actually trying it for safety reasons. You kinda found out the hard way. I have a flintlock tooand the lock time is damn near as fast as any side hammer rifle when I do mypart right.
I agree the muff and diver wouldn't have been a very goodchoice....maybe on another site?
