are the stainless underlugs any harder?
« on: December 04, 2008, 03:57:02 PM »
has anyone has a stainless handi "shoot loose"?  wondering if they use a higher quality steel in the stainless underlugs.  also, how many rounds of say .270 or 30/06 does it take to loosen a handi?  thanks~~~mike.
I've got to many but never enough!!!! :eek:

It may never get loose, I would say that shooting it would have less effect than the wear from opening and closing the action twice for each round shot, that's why it's important to lube the hinge.  ;)
