Glad you got a 12 Pedersoli you're happy with. Too bad you had to sent 2 back. I wonder if they realize something's wrong since they seem to get a lot back for regualtion and lock problems too. I have a friend who sent his .58 double back to them and they actually found a set of barrels that would regualte with round balls and exchanged them. He thinks they re-regulated his barrels - They are brazed, aren't they? If so, they probably put them on a different rifle heading for Cabalas.
