It depends soly upon the brazing, but as the brazed area is so large they seemingly give few if any problems. Never heard of one coming loose. Miller/TN I Didn't Say Everything I Said, Yogi Berra

If that was the case, for one, its not long enough to provide the leverage and why have the cocking dogs/levers on the action knuckle? I've seen this action used by alot of different makers. Silvers, Lang, Adams, Army & Navy, etc come to mind. McCready? Wasn't he the chopper pilot in the hit movie from the 80's "The Thing"? Dustin Last edited by LeFusil; 03/25/11 10:20 AM.

Meanwhile the phrase "good bores" does not mean in proof and lastly where did that chunk of would next to the lever go? and why. Joe seems to be right about this one. Money well wasted
