Hi folks,
I love my encore except for one thing: that slight little movement of the barrel within the frame. I know it's knit-picking but it's one more thing that introduces variation shot to shot, when, with the Omega for example, there's no movement. And hey, I'm admitting up front that this is knitpicking.
Anyway. I know there are hinge pins available to reduce movement of the pin itself, but they can still allow for movement of the barrel after lockup. So I'm just asking; has anyone tried to 'solidify' the area of the barrel below the breech and where that meets the frame with dampeners or filed-spot-welds - so that when that locks up it is firmly in place?
Just asking. I'm not going to mickey-rig anything but just wanted to see what other options were out there. Mines a nice older one and it'll stay that way.
Thoughts?
Thanks!!
