[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1321029, member: 2736"] Don.t apologies, this is just a discussion. I am basing my Opinions on seeing many failures and repairing many of them. As mentioned earlier By a very good and known gunsmith and all of the master gunsmiths that taught me that .150 was the minimum thickness allowed to be infringed upon the barrel wall even when drilling and taping sights. This is a very small area and it is plugged by the screw. I just want to keep people out of trouble by passing on my experience, Not my opinion as a gunsmith and hope they head the warning. I have learned by the mistakes of others and continue to learn, so the same thing doesn't happen to me or others with one of my rifles. I have also known several gunsmiths that had catastrophic failures and later said they knew better but did what the client wanted. Fortunately the firearms failed when they tested them and the client was not hurt. I learned from them not to take short cuts, do anything marginal, and simply refuse to do work that could be unsafe. Under ideal conditions some practices are marginally safe, But is anything changes, bad things happen. so why not have some safety margin for those situations. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
