That was a great post. Certainly gives one pause...But I intend to shoot it. Mathman you were correct. When I originally read the article on the rifle, mentioned was made of "soft" receivers that in an attempt to "harden" them, they were heat treated, apparently causing the opposite effect.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
