G'Day Fella's,

I also don't profess to be an expert on this (I just have a bit of experience) but it is probably mainly metallurgy (the Steel alloy, its made from) and the fact that the receiver, falling block etc, are of Investment Cast construction.
Most of the traditional falling block single shots, were made from a block of carbon steel (at best) and all the thru holes etc, were cut/made into this block. I'm sure this isn't as robust and strong as the No 1 designs!

Also and iirc, early No 1's, may have been fully machined, from a block of steel?

Hope that helps

Doh!
