all humor aside the issue points to the value of removing and cleaning everytime the gun is fired and or cleaned. Keeping the threads in the barrel and on the tube clean and lubricated will ensure no problems. We all know this, but most us, to include myself, need the occasional bitter experience to remeber it.

I am amazed how painful lessons learned young have stuck with me while easy stuff well accomplished is forgotten.
