    I am excited about the new Lipsey’s Smith releases, and it seems like the caliber offerings for those guns are maybe prompting some of this interest. It is for me, at any rate. The thing that is...

    He made the action on a Model 12 I had smooth like butter, while still keeping ignition reliable (it was a carry gun).

    Do *they* know how the action is supposed to work, even like back of a napkin sketch? Because it looks like they don’t know how the action works from the pictures.

    What do you suspect was off as far as cylinder ramp/notch geometry? I would be interested in hearing about it. Your 340 thread was great, by the way.

    I mean, I already have one, but I am not happy hearing about that issue. I don’t run my guns particularly hard, so it’s extraordinarily unlikely that it’s going to be a significant issue for me. It...

    Is there any way we could see the fun documents? I am interested in getting info direct from Chapuis, as opposed to internet rumors- as long as it’s not too much trouble and you can post them freely.

    The HK service department in Columbus reportedly gets few returns. I was told several hundred guns per year is what they typically get. For as many as they make, that’s damned impressive to me.
