I guess you'd have to ask a Purdey Gunsmith how many of them he tightens. Never having owned a Purdey I have not the foggiest idea.

A long way from a Purdey but I have a Birmingham made J P Clabrough which is pre-1900. It has double underbolts & an unbolted Doll's Head. It is still tight & on face even though it has no built in wear compensation. Top lever stops at center, period, didn't start to the right & will never move to the left.

Personally I am firmly convinced that more guns "Wear" loose than ever "Shoot" loose.
