VonGruff, did you have the sear v-notched to aid shot-to-shot alignment? I too am planning on using one (a home-built version) for the Mauser project I'm doing, and I'm wondering if that step is totally necessary. I'm aware that custom gun builders in the era when cocking piece sights were mildly popular did that trick.
