Ask Phil for details on this issue and you might change your impression of how safe and cool it is to be a "beta tester" for some of our NZ gunsmiths

Most experienced machinists have the ability to say "thats about right" and it usually is! very few of them have the facilities or are willing to spend the money to prove that this is the case. If you are calling someone out about their claims then you had better be able to back up your own no? In the absense of multiple bolts tested to failure with the case in question and or many cycles and or decent modelling of the situation you have... well.... nothing but a guess. As with the Dan Cans, as these things reach the end of their fatigue life and start to fail who knows what could happen and crucially who knows when that point will be reached.

Dont get me wrong - as I stated before I dont actually disagree with Greg on the extractor issue: I'm sure its "probably fine"

Paying advertisers? If you are still seeing adverts on the web you are doing something wrong
