Looking at the photo of the rear of the receiver, it does not appear that the rear toggle axle pin has been lowered. The connecting link however has been extensively modified. The pivot point on the toggle for the link has been moved far forward to right behind the toggle knobs and the link itself has been made longer. The pivot point between the rear and forward toggle links has also been raised. The gunsmith has completely changed the geometry of the toggle train to accommodate the .22 round. Again, I am impressed with the ingenuity of his modifications.
