Where does one start with a suggestion like this? This is kinda like
telling the little kid with his face in the cereal bowl - "why don't
you try the spoon?"<br>
<br>
I have jammed a few actions into their cavity with the dog-gonned lead
hanging off the back only to ram into the underlevers - and spout out a
few choice words.<br>
<br>
Ya know, maybe next time I will use the leads......but hang them on the
front side of the backchecks! I'm just sittin' here scratching my head
wondering how in the world something so obvious could elude me (and
others also???) for so long.<br>
<br>
Thank you Jon. Thank you. Thank you.<br>

Years ago, one of the catalogues had an illustration accompanying the
description<br>
of these leads. The illustration showed the lead on the back-side of the
backcheck.<br>
<br>
My mentor pointed out to me that the 'suggested' application was
incorrect<br>
because it placed the weight behind the back rail thus levering the key
higher.<br>
<br>
Carl knew what and why I mentioned it.<br>
