LeFusil, me personally fixed two R guns before selling, there was some loose between breech sliding block and barrels. Just one little shim had to placed, where lower breech block located.
And plz stop talking like that, I mean Rasputin or whatever you or Ted say. Hope you got it.

Hmm, what's a nice girl to believe?? I sort of go with the double-rifle crowd; got to be Merkel or Chapuis, Verney-Carron? Maybe anything at Cracker Barrel that falls into the hands of Sherman Bell? I can't see it has anything to do with bolts or rotary locking lugs as those only appear as a rare novelty on doubleguns and doublerifles. That would make them the str[a]ngest rather than strongest.

C'mon, Ted. I thought the board was getting away from this chauvinist nonsense. Many of us here remember that the Russians also didn't operate with disastrous rubber seals in their rockets. Canada also chose the most dangerous assignment in Afghanistan, with losses per capita twice that of Americans. And Britain, France, Italy and Germany---where to stop? There's enough stupidity to go around without slinging it here. I'm tired of it.

And he also very conveniently forgot about Three Mile Island as well, King!

One more thought, the most expensive guns got the strongest action.
You'll never shoot hot loads in 100 thousand pounds gun.
From this point of view any damascus barrels are much stronger, than barrels made from fluid steel

Many here conviently forget that the Soviet Union was no more than a large enslaved encampment for most of the last century, with hysterical leadership murdering millions of their own. Not too far fetched to imagine sporting gun maintenance being somewhat far down the list for the wretched few who might have had them. Remember, Soviet leadership tried, and failed, to have proper maintenance done on a pair of English bests, only to be told the guns were stolen-I don't suppose the English had to tell them the original owners had been murdered by that same leadership, as well. You want to call it chauvinist nonsense, go right ahead, I say it bears directly on the question at hand.
People struggled. Their implimentaria bears witness to the struggle.
There is plenty of stupid to go around, but, the world has never seen anything like Soviet stupid-comparing TMI to Chernoble only drives home the point. No other country ever tried to produce so dangerous a design as a graphite pile reactor, or paid so heavy a price for it. Under that mentality, a people tried to survive. I wouldn't be surprised if their hammers and anvils are un-usable, when examined today.
If Geno wants to claim every single Darne he has ever seen is loose, well, I say "look around, pal". The rest of the world hasn't had the same experience.

Either of them.
Best,
Ted

I din't tell every single Darne is loose. I did tell Darne strongest action is myth and that's true.
Why everybody here has to read your hysteria about USSR?
And I'm not your pal.
Go to h*ll, Ted.

Ah ha, I see how it is Mr. Geno, you can say whatever you want, however rudely you want, but someone bites back and your first reaction is to tell that person to "plz stop talking like that". I guess thats where we differ as well. Again, all rudeness aside, please show me some pics (or even some video) of of all crap Darnes that you find at the shops, I would really like to see all crap loose, broke down Darnes that you are seeing, please, I invite you to change my mind sir and show me the light. I wonder how come nobody else who has had actual experience with Darnes is piping up about how they've seen, or even heard of a loose Darne. Matter of fact, unless some idiot took a file to the locking bolt and the raceway, I find it damn near IMPOSSIBLE for the breach to be loose when locked. Prove it Geno, quit asking me to take your word for it, all I'm asking is for you to prove it, treat me like I'm from Missouri.."Show Me".

No problem. It will cost you about $1000. I have to call to all shops around and to check all adresses I knew, then I have to go and to make some photos and videos. Are you ready to compensate my expenses? You are not that guy or friend of mine I have to prove something for free. Is it clear?
Do I need you to send you my bank account # ?

Your a joke Geno. I'm done with you. I wouldnt pay you one bloody cent or a worthless ruble for that matter EVER. Oh, and this just in....you still havent proven thing sir and you never will, why? Because your full of it. You may not even know it, but your Russian sense of humor doesnt fly with me, I have always thought you to be a very rude person, and you come off as an egotiscal know it all. I dont have a very high tolerance level for people like you. I'll end my part of this before I say anything rude. :-) Take care Geno, stay warm.
