Letoff buttons turned all the way up and still excessive lettoff. This was a regulation for performance with time contraint . I removed the lettoff rails from the action rail, brought them to the shop and removed (If I remember )around 1/8" from the top of these rails with a small thumb plane. / Yep... this is even faster as long as you can take off a consitant thickness and you still have enough wood for the letoff button screws to bit sufficiently into wood. Cant remember the exact configuration for Schimmels, but a Petrof I recently worked on might have experienced a problem with this solution. The letoff rail was screwed directly to the hammershank rail, and was not particularilly thick in itself. Taking off say 3 mm would have required the letoff button screws to go that much into the hammer rail. Maybe not a problem.. maybe the otherway around. Make sure you have clearence if you do it this way. Good solution tho Tom. I'll keep this one in my book of tricks.
