I finally making t= he plunge to add a digital camera to my kit...or at least my car... Anyone else can pipe in. Someone mentioned a Fuji with a 10X zoom...?= I want to be able to take close ups...

I just double-checked it with the original setup again = (not that I had ANY doubts! ;-). It is real close to original - if any= thing a quarter of a millimeter low, so I really don't want to lower it= any more. However, I did incorporate some of Ron's suggestion (although not the h= eart of his suggestion) - I ran a length of #17-1/2 music wire along th= e bottom side of the flange screw (nice snug fit) and kept the upper br= ass rod. I have to admit that I still like the idea of having the full height of= the flange intimately contacting the action rail. If nothing else, it = will likely make me sleep better at night.... Terry Farrell BTW: What kind of flange does is completely flat on the back side - no = cut-out? ----- Original Message ----- > As I'm watching this thread, I wonder: have you checked the geometry = of the flange and butt with the wippen and key in place?? > Is it possible that the action center is a little high, and that you = could just run the rail through a table saw and cut the bottom of the f= lange rabbet a little lower? > > Ed Sutton >>> >>> >>> I think I'd have considered this.
