I have 2 MK V rifles,I'll check my lugs again but they seem to have good contact. I have seen photos on Weatherby.dk where a fella stuck a barrel in the mud accidently and then fired the rifle days later and the barrel opened up like a bannana and the action was checked out ok. I find it unbelievable -this story I mean.

It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
