@gundoc

Have occasionally mused over making one myself, in 410 g to be safer with the pressures. Would have a very small footprint in the gun safe and provide a potential use for my .303 splitneck cases. The main challenge is a simple safety, since a complex safety defeats the idea of the simple build. Of course, "Don't load until ready to fire" does meet that requirement... o-:>

Anyway, I'm curious, what did your half-hour Sumpak get used to illustrate to the Court?
