My pleasure Christel. Just get used to the firmness required to cycle the bolt in either direction. With feel you can drop the brass about a foot to your right but yank it back and they go up in the air about a metre (I can't believe I didn't say about three feet, but did so out of respect for your Danish ways so, an ell and a bit!) and back about four ells. :cheers:
