Just got her today and am looking forward to checking a couple patterns tomorrow.
She's a nifty little smooth bore - take down. Points great and balances beautifully for carrying.
One question though for those who might know. While the operation seems fine and safe when I operate it fully manually, I do need to hold the lever up, consequently holding the breech block in battery in order to fire it and a cycling of the lever does not set the hammer.
So; I draw the lever fully through ejection, insert a round, lift the lever (holding it in place) and set the hammer.
Should the lever's full travel set the hammer and should the lever be self retained in the upper position with the hammer cocked as it is held when the hammer is not cocked?
