But don't try this at home kids... it is NOT recommended because I also remember the number of times that it wasn't as secure as I had hoped and the pain caused by the extractor as it tried to engage my finger when the bolt closed unexpectedly... OUCH! __________________ regards, -John S "...We hold these truths to be self-evident that ALL men are created EQUAL *and are endowed by their Creator* with certain UNALIENABLE* rights, and among these are life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness..."*
