Too bad the boys at Ilion didn't get orders for a few more as pictured on the bottom of the 1908 page 8!!

Wisner's is a great resource, if he makes what you need. I wish we could get him to make some Flues cocking levers to solve the same problem.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

"Never" forget!! The bbls must move, before any cocking action can take place. The firing pins on a non-rebounding gun (whether independent or integral) thus actually form a mild "Lock" against opening. One of the most important things then becomes that the tips are well rounded & have a good polish, so they will be easily cammed back by the first motion of opening. As the bbls begin to move they should of course almost immediately begin to cock the hammers, so pins should not "Drag" down the face of shell. They cannot though be set so tight as to prevent full pin protrusion or you will be plagued by mis-fires. That absolute first motion will always be by the camming action of the pin in it's indent, so this must go smoothly. Protrusion should not be excessive, & there should be as litle lost motion as possible in the cocking mechanism, "BUT" on a non-rebounding lock some resistance is purely & simply "Un-Avoidable" & must be lived with.

I can attest to the value of the dome shape camming out of primer strike indent. I put new pins in a Lightning Trap and shot a round of skeet without measuring the protrusion hammers down. There were very slight drag marks on the hull base but the gun wasn't particularly hard to open and no pierced primers altho the indent appeared very deep. Afterwards I measured the hgt and they were well above the Arnold service manual spec. Ground down to spec and reshaped and polished. No drag marks and no misfires afterwards so apparently I can follow instructions if sometimes belatedly.

I think I figured out the problem. The ejectors do not slide easily because one of the ejectors is bowed. How to straighten it? Anyone in the Puget Sound region with experience and ability to do that. I don't trust myself to do it. Also noticed that the Joint Check Part. No. 27 is broken. Probably broken because the darn gun was so hard to open. Anyone have an idea as to where I can find a Joint Check?
Lesson learned. If I had immediately tested the gun after purchase and taken it back I wouldn't be have to deal with this problem. I waited four months to test shoot because I trusted the gun dealer.
