Relative, being the key word, 1/64” is one sixty-fourth of an inch and that is a measurable difference, all things considered. I will have to get out the measuring stick I used when I had Tom’s gun here and put a dial caliper to it.

And I’ll dig out Austin’s records on the one had and see exactly what he measured.

Golly, but you make me work awful hard Edgar....

Thank you for explaining that, for those of us who know our fractions, but may not know how to spell the numbers

You don't need to dig anything out. The gun is no longer in Austin's estate, but owned by another collector, and we've gotten lots of measurements from it.

I know that Edgar, and what was the precise measurement he determined between the firing pin holes center to center?
