Maybe I missed something, Bramble, but I didn't glean that Notlim's Heym didn't shoot, just that he couldn't get his reloads right. I'm happy to say my new 88PH regulates OK but that I would not have minded something to relieve the grey monotony of the receiver. Case hardening can be overdone, of course, and I've seen some examples flashing like opals. Perhaps New Guy's examples are bit bright, too. Some critters see colours at the ultra-violet end of the spectrum very well - you wouldn't want to scare 'em.
