GT - yeah, that sounds great! I'll call you today or tomorrow. Let me know what time is best. Was thinking it was a parts/combination issue. Gonna leave the scope off for now because the way it was mounted, well, no way it will last. 20-rds or so is when it blew off. By the way, the bluing job on this gun is just poor. Thick and nasty, kinda like Russian capture stuff . . . but not quite THAT nasty
policeluger - I'll give you a call tomorrow as well. Let me know what time is best.
FWIW: Breech block GT sent was/is in fine shape. I really think now after all this that this must have been made to display and not shoot. No way someone could do this horrible of a job and expect it to work.
- WOT
