Hi Guys, <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />
Just my opinion, But, I feel that the practice of routinely removing barrels for inspection, is about equal to find "All" of the "Missing 45 cal Lugers" in the same yard sale in Podunk ! <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />
Is it possible that all of the small offsets are in the same direction ?
Is it possible that the torque of a projectile accelerating through the barrel could make these minute mis-alignments ?
Just wondering ???
---------------------------------------------
After posting the above, I stripped my 1906 AE to examine the "wit-mk",
When examined under a 60 X Binocular Lab Microscope, The marks appear to be made with two different tools. "??????"
The tools have differing widths of wear in the marking edge, the barrel mark shows to be approximatly 90% of width of the breech mark.
To the unaided eye the marks appear to be one continuous mark, however the Photo below shown nothing definate with one exception, in some of the views there seems to show a a slight difference. "????"
Now I'm Really Confused
What can any of you see ??
