Miles, thanks I read through the 10 pages of commentary like it was a suspense novel! Raised my knowledge level by a quantum. Here are some pictures of the setup. I think the mounting should be pretty straightforward once I remove some of the neoprene. I still don't know what the green lever on the back of the reel mount is for. You can see that the slot it sits in is solid around the underside of the mount and open on the top side. If you insert the lever so it goes around the underside, the tip of the lever snaps over the little nub you can see off to one side, but in that position the lever doesn't appear to do anything - there's nothing that it capture or butts against. If you reverse it, it goes across the opening on the top side, which is on top of the gun barrel, but it doesn't look like it fits right in that position, doesn't match anything to the tip or the nub, and also doesn't appear to accomplish anything in that position. I wonder if it has something to do with another gun the mount will fit. It's got me stumped.
