In reply to:

Are they necessary?




Today I don't think they are necessarily needed, but are desirable to me, as a safety back-up. I don't think they work the way people seem to think!

In reply to:

That only a couple work, that none work, that all work




I think, also, the only ones that work, at all, before something else fails, are well fitted DOLL'S HEADS.

In reply to:

Do the soupposedly 'New' steels negate the need?





I don't think there is much doubt that modern alloys are a big help with the stringth of double rifles.

In reply to:

Do Makers that use one do it for show or because they like spending more money to make rifles?




I believe in some cases it is strictly for show, but in most cases, it is, simply, because that is the way they have always done it!.

I do not believe the B. Searcy would be better with a third fastener, but some folks might be more prone to buy one if they had one!
