Dennis - great pictures. Thank you.

I am posting some pictures now and will try to expand shortly. Do you know how to remove the indicator? I am at a loss to see how it 'reads' the state of the action.

My WR is mounted only to the block. But your Francotte indicator mounts to the trigger plate. Does it interact with the firing pin in the block or the trigger/sear?

Here are some pictures from today's brief outing (only 4 rounds fired):

This first photo shoes the take down lever in the locked/barrel retention position.


Next the lever is shown up. Note how the barrel mortise is now totally round, ready to receive the barrel.



In this third pic you see the groove cut in the bottom of the barrel shank; this is what is locked when the retaining lever is turned down.
