What nobody likes the random untimed lock screws on John Browning's A5? I give it a pass since its not a double but I have to say it drives me a little crazy when most gun screws aren't properly timed. Might be a little OCD but I even try to time outlet cover screws in the house!

You're not alone Channing - I do exactly the same thing... throughout the house.

Lock screws aligned with the larger screw are not the easiest task to make perfect. I remember a Becker Fox pictured in the DGJ that I used as an example for my gunsmith, Mr. Vicknair, that I would not find acceptable. He came through with flying colors and made the screws not only perfectly sized and aligned, but almost invisible.
