Hugh, I have never understood this. The toggle action works by itself, why would a heavier barrel cause it not to recoil properly?

Also, I thought the longer barrel would increase the velocity (at least a bit), causing more rearward "push".

I do not claim to be any sort of science whiz, so small words please,

Ed
