Know those badger holes well. I always wonder what the probabilities are to actually find that relatively small hole in that rather large expanse of land. Whatever they are, I find a couple every year. I spent close to a half hour trying to extricate myself from one. The boot toe had bent back and the fit of boot to hole was very tight. I was a mere couple hundred yards from the car but out of sight of it. It was a day that Kay was sitting there totally unconcerned about how long I would be walking around the area. I burned a lot of hiking energy just working on wiggle/pull and only gaining minimal distance. Just told Kay I didn't see anything and we carried on. She worries too much
Back to the beautifl AHE. After all the education provided on this forum, other than the beauty of that gun, the first thing that struck me is that the indexing of some screws is off. The inference from that is that the gun has been opened up but not quite properly re-assembled. Is this a valid conclusion from the pictures?
Cheers,
Jack
