In all of that, one guy had two pins break on the same gun in around 5,000 rounds. A hardened pin corrected it and no problems in nearly three times the round count since have shown up. Because of those two pins EVERYONE immediately started to purposely try and break their pins in their guns. Guys running the bolt as hard as they possibly can. That lasted for a while and then everyone just gave up as no pins were breaking.





Quoted for posterity...


Thats
300,000 to 450,000 he claims that he and his buddies have put through their Tikkas..

I am just surprised he needed friends to accomplish that, I would have thought he would do that himself in his all magicness! smile smile smile
