Just a thought on checking. The angle of the back check and hammer tail arc are critical. When the two collide, the tactile sense at the front of the key should not be a thump. The thump I call 'knuckling-in'. What I strive for is more of a scuffing effect which catches the hammer with zero to minimal sensation at the front. -- Regards, Jon Page
