Thanks Tom, and others. I'll try this out this weekend. Quick question
though: Is there a good way I verify that it is working or that I didn't
screw anything up without firing the gun? Chances are I won't be out to
a range again for a while, but I'd like to tweak the gun before I forget
that it needs to be tweaked.
