The first one you had that was done locally, broke because of lack of penetration or lack of preheat or something like that. My CSS Lightning bolt hasn't broke yet, few thousand rounds and counting on it. But the CSS ones have broke, i know of two people who have had theirs break.
I do think the screwed idea is best, then welded solution is the best.
Heh, was nice to see my rifle in the first post.....![]()
You're right, that first one I had was very poorly welded. Very little penetration of the weld around the joint. I also had a threaded in one, that I did myself, break because of low-grade bolt I used.
I think picture would speak a thousand words Stevo
To add to this debate I do wish that a local Canadian company would offer this as a regularly stocked item.
Picture of what, Satain?
