You know what? You are my hero. We just bought an Ilco pick gun and I hate the friggin' thing. It snaps so hard that I think it actually popped the cap that keeps the pins inside the cylinder off of a cheap walmart kik cylinder. Its been making me really angry. On the plus side, I'm building my manual picking skills because when its -20 degrees outside and you're trying to get a customer into their house, you learn pretty quick
I'm gonna try drilling a hole at the back of the gun, just behind the wheel, tomorrow. I'll try to get pics and report back.
