    Yes there are always two sides to every story.
    I feel sorry for the forum member who brought the gun and almost had a woopsy.
    Surely we should all be thankful that it went to someone very experienced in the industry who new something was wrong,
    If it was built/sold to joe blogs we may be all giving condolences in this thread.
    And a fatality is the last thing the builder, user and any of us want two happen.

    If it is a forum member that owns the rifle in question , maybe they could make a well thought out and considered statement , listing some of the facts and not just suspicions and guess work .
    I have no dog in this fight other than that I own a Blaser R93 . Stager has done the right thing by alerting Blaser owners to a potential problem with an aftermarket alteration , but that is where their involvement should end in the matter .

    Yes bang on, the owner of said rifle and the rifle builder have both been conspicuous in there absence......
    Would be good two get the thoughts from both before everyone cleans and drys.
