Curl,

The Bland action seemed soft. As in it wasn't hardened enough to take the pressure of the rifle cartridge. The 30-40 works fine in a 20 gauge action it just has to be the right 20 gauge action. The Bland was a game gun and was built on the light side. As I said it was probably hardened perfectly for the lower pressure shotshells but didn't quite stand up to the Krag. If I had it properly re-heattreated before I used it "might" have worked fine. However after firing it I no longer felt it was safe to do so. It's funny because the angle of the watertable and breech face was unchanged but the measument from the hinge pin to the breech face was longer. Thus why I used stretch to describe the problem. I thought about simply putting in a larger pin and then heat treating. However I decided since the metal already obviously sustained some type of move that, that wasn't the best of ideas.

Bill

P.S.- I like how you ignored the part about sending me the Woodward

. There is an "Automatic" in a 12 gauge for sale locally. However the gent wants $35,000 for it. I really, really like them but even if that was in my reach financially that is too much.
