Brambach Grand Hammer Butts

[Farrell]

I strongly feel that it would be BEST to replace wippens on such an action
if replacing knuckles. But why would it be required? Actually I kinda like
the big wide jack on...............

Oh, it just came to me as I was writing this.......I'll send it along for
any who are not familiar with these. If you use a new knuckle with the funky
old wippen, the new knuckle is smaller than the old block knuckle, and the
repetition stub will not meet the new round knuckle. After the jack kicks
out, when the hammer/shank/knuckle come headin' down, I guess the shank
would crash down on the repetition stub with a bit of a clank - 'course,
this still may be an improvement................ ;-)
