My Hauck wanderings from the beaten path have included the development of a rebounding hammer system; works very well. I now want to deal with an issue de Haas mentioned; the lack of a 'loading' position to place the top of the block even with the bottom of the chamber to make loading easier and faster. As it is the block drops until it contacts the pin through the side wall which apparently no Hauck, other than my original, has. This is at the point where extraction is complete. The block is quite happy to sit there, with the extractor all the way back, about .125" below the bottom of the chamber,  while another round is loaded. The extractor is in the way and the block must be raised with the lever to reach the loading height. I would like it to raise up that distance, after extraction, to be even with the bottom of the chamber...
I will loose some sleep over this, but at my age, sleep is over rated!

This screw on the top of the block retains the plunger. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Here are the parts. I had to use a stronger spring than the one pictured here. Then I put the smaller spring inside the larger spring. That works! (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)


This is how it works. With the block raised to the loading position the extractor retracts and the case slides right in with no resistance.
