goodson88,
First, welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear you have a cervical spine problem, sounds like you can can enjoy life in spite of it.

Next, is it possible for you to take a picture of the device you already have?
What sort of weapon do you want the new one to fit?
What does this gadget do? How does it enable you to pull the trigger?
(It might be obvious from the picture, but thought I'd ask first.)

Any more info might be helpful.

Also, it's a good idea to put some sort of location in the User Control Panel, does not need to be very specific. Sometimes there are folks nearby that would love to help.

Looks like your Dad does some nice work there. Quite professional.

Don't blame you for being careful, small threads in Aluminum can be touchy.

So, 3-4" long and slides onto the trigger. Is it a simple extension, to get around a trigger guard? Or does it help in some other way?

Do you have the new .22 or pellet gun now?
