Marrakki,

Thanks for that, it is well worth knowing for the future. It apparently can also be removed with a barrel hone and a great deal of bad temper!!! Guess how I know that?!?

The article does not say if the wire is to be the anode or cathode. Do you know?

Bulldog.

Yes I hate the origional beavertail foreend. I think that a splinter is the thing. I did that to a Biaikal 28 guage that I bought filed the action and cleaned up, came out quite sweet. Just wantedsome outside imput before I attack it.

Another update soon before she goes for provisional proof.

Regards
