Thanks for info guys. I knew someone would know.

Man, what bummer. Talk about your serious design flaws. I still have the supposed finicky diet requirements of the #1 to deal with as well. I am beginning to wonder if this #1 venture is worth the trouble. I already have several Marlin leveractions that are just as short, are lighter and come to the shoulder just as fast. It is too bad. The #1 is a great looking rifle in any configuration.

Thanks again for your help.
