[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 745516, member: 17593"] Wow, Encore, this is getting deep. Sorry to hear about you and your wife coming down with the flu. I had a bad cold. My bro in law came to visit and he got something that kept him here waaaay too long. Then my wife got ill. Good news is that all of us survived. I sure hope you two will be well very soon. Anyways, I really appreciate the info on the locking spring and all the other possible reasons for the vertical stringing. I also consulted with Allen at Harvester Sabots and a friend about this. Both offered yet another reason. The sabots! Seems some sabots are very heat sensitive and I needed more time between shots for the barrel to cool. It was 61 degrees out. Both said it could take ten or more minutes between shots. I also believe it could quite possibly be D. all of the above. I checked the hing pin and don't believe that's it. As for the locking spring, while I can push the bolt back by hand; I can't discern any movement in the gun when closed. Nada. One other thing. My friend who was with me said the barrel "jumped" differently at some shots. Higher or not as much. I could be guilty of having a slightly different pressure on the stock. :) [/QUOTE]
