[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 961768, member: 12995"] I saw that and thought that was funny too. But I'm already controversial enough with my "strange" 7mm affection, so I didnt' say anything. But I agree...They're almost identical...How can they be a "better design"? That's almost comical. Also, a 788 is almost as much "fun" to re-work as a Mark V with those, oh so fun to hand-lap, 9 individual locking lugs... I'm not saying it's a good action, because they are one of the strongest out there...But being a competent smith or not, lapping 9 individual locking lugs and testing for perfect fit takes a LONG time. That's why most smiths don't want to screw with them. [/QUOTE]
