<pre><i>Scott, Ric,
I had the same problem with the same vintage Schimmel. 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

Cheers<br>
