ClapperZapper --

In response to your question, the critical point is that I have had no response from Rizzini with respect to the tolerance on the respective points of impact for the two barrels on a new set. I sent an e-mail over a week ago with a formal inquiry and I made two telephone calls and left messages. To date, no response.

I would hate spend the money on a new set of barrels and find myself in a situation with little or no improvement in the barrel regulation .... and more wasted time. Without some sort of guarantee on the maximum, barrel to barrel, point of impact tolerance that Rizzini will stand behind -- there is clearly a problem and no clear solution.

Right now, the "compensating choke" solution seems to be the leading candidate. I sent a formal inquiry to Briley, yesterday. No formal response, yet. But, in an initial telephone conversation, the Briley representative felt very confident in achieving a good technical solution. This approach may be cost effective. as well.

Best Regards,

Don
