One of my many faults is that I like detail. The more, the better. Overthink, overdo, never happens.

I suspect that we could talk about the choice of mudflaps for the old truck until the cows come home. Guess to me, it is pretty marvelous that someone in the past did take the time to come up with the piin in the breechblock routine, fairly well mechanically supported, and is a good alternative to welding. I cannot weld either, but have cousins that can.

We all know about choices in tap material, all comes into play in certain situations. I have come to disdain a little, the good stout red loctite stuff, so many messed up scope mounts put in with that stuff, painful it is to repair..........well at least time consuming. Environment is everything. Likewise, not much is really new in the gun business. So it goes.

I hope that Rickybill will chime in on occasion with a report on how his breechblock is holding up.
