So, what does it take to file a lawsuit anymore, anyway??? Make a gun,
a couple of morons STEAL it, terrorize the East, and YOU get sued for their
actions!!! Go out and buy plans for building an airplane, fail to follow
clearly written instructions, crash & die, and your relatives get to sue the
pants off Burt Rutan who has made some of the safest homebuilts ever
conceived to date!!!
So, I can well imagine if some nerdy idiot could get his hands on an Encore,
overload the crap out of it, cause total frame failure from 10x to much head
pressure, he too, could probably come up with some lawsuit on T/C
claiming they didn't make something idiot proof! This just goes to prove
that if ya can make something totally idiot-proof, they will just come up
with an improved idiot to defy all laws of physics!!! :evil:
I've discussed frame problems with those who should know, such as
Steve Stratton at VVCG, and read many a post and topic written by
Mike Bellm. The only problems known to either seems to be in the
area of accuracy. As most of us know, Mike claims it's a hinge-pin
problem. Steve claims it's a bridge (the piece in the frame the latch
in the end of the barrel closes under) problem in some frames. I do
know that VVCG will not make certain chambers which cause too
much stress on the frame resulting from a lot of head pressure which
causes extreme vertical stringing (such as the 223WSSM & 243WSSM),
but the cencern is that of accuracy.
On the other hand, a company might have one very bad frame out of
10,000 get out of the factory. That still doesn't mean that the other
9,999 are defective. :wink:
