All,

Grateful for comment on the worth of intercepting sears. Tried to raise the issue in the long discussion Ken Hurst started on making a modern version of the Lefever. Poster G.P. argued for possibly considering a hammer block as an safety-enhancing alternative. Both he and I recognize that adding intercepting sears would be a change to the basic Lefever design. But it could be a salutory change depending on the views heard and, of course, on the extra costs.

Of especial value would be comment from gunsmiths and doublegun fundi.

Regards, Tim
