blade: jack rowe's method of tightening guns seems pretty straight forward...interesting that you express disapproval here without details to support your objection...
Sorry, my skepticism comes from having spent a few years behind a retail firearms counter. I know all too well the level of judgment and discretion of many gun owners. There's little that can't be screwed up beyond recognition by a gun guy with a few tools.
I'm sure some guys are capable of following Mr. Rowe's example without ill effect but for others the best advice is probably "Put down the hammer and move away from the shotgun." (I'm sure present company is excepted from this negative characterization, however.)
Besides, beating on the gun seems like a temporary solution at best.
