Stranger and stranger.
The owner called me and told me:
1. Teague relaid the ribs. Steve Bertram called him and told him Teague had determined they would need to relay the ribs.
2. He had Teague liners put in so he could shoot smokeless powder handloads. He worked with Bertram & Co, Teague's US agent, to have the work done.
Paul, its not my gun, not my issue, my guns have good barrels and I shoot smokeless powder loads through mine regularly, ranging from full load pressures to reduced pressure. I've never considered Teague liners and have no reason to. The owner told me that he is not a PGCA member. The owner has not contacted Teague yet. Not my place to ride herd on this whole matter. I posted the pictures because I thought it presented interesting issues for those who have considered the work.
Bill, I'm implying nothing. I just present the facts known to me and shown in the photos and the statements of the gun owner.
