Seemed like a good idea at the time.... smile I figured if it was good for behind the recoil lug it would work elsewhere. Learn something new every once in a while.

Never had a pinned one come apart, so I guess the epoxy did the trick. Can't disagree about the looks, or time involved.

Besides a tight tang, another common cause of a split wrist is not having relief around the rear receiver screw.


The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
