Over tightening could have changed the trigger function possibly? Id certainly be looking at that if...

They always reply and usually with images pulled from Google!!

I replied to them the first time around about the item I was interested in. They sent pics, when I Google searched images they were...

That's sum serious crud!

This is the second time I have had this kind of message here in under a month.

I appreciate the heads up, and i have not written dealing with members off simply because of this. I have had many...

Nice looking project!! I agree the sunshade needs backing off a touch, i have used Birchwood Casey Brass black with good results!
