I talked to Brian Haack today for a long time. He was a great guy with a lot of information on this gun and I learned a lot that I did not know about the gun, he said to call him anytime if I had any questions, etc. Thanks a lot for the contact information! Dave

I made three hammer springs before I got it right! Had to order .093 spring flat steel. The .063 was not strong enough, now it fires the primers every time!
Here are some pics of the original and my gun. Still need to make the hopper and almost ready to test fire. Got the timing all up to snuff, that took awhile!!
