Here's an update on this project...I haven't gotten to spend too much time on this these summer months, but I do plan to file/polish the two shotgun indicator pins so they are flush after firing.
For the rifle's pin, it still appears to be located too far behind the curved top of the rifle's hammer (see the images above) to make good contact. I can add some mass to the pin, but it has to align with the hammer and can't be too wide -- due to the fact the pin can rotate in its holder.
Looking at the 1st image up above earlier today, I noted the rod for the rifle selector button/rear sight that runs along the top of the action...
My plan is to fabricate an extended button head "with legs", so the extended head of the pin fully contacts the rifle hammer, but the back two legs run parallel to the rifle selector rod -- thus always keeping the extended button head aligned with the hammer.
Here's a crude drawing of how it could work.............
Will it work???
Only time will tell, but at least now I have a plan!
