Remember I and you have driven thousands of times without any issues of accident until you are killed in an accident! Accidents are unknown events but can be avoided by risk management and not doing stupid things.


That is correct. Of course, everyone on the internet who has heard about this even 25th hand can say with conviction that it was something else entirely. I also heard that one gun magazine writer, who knows me personally but never contacted me about it, got a good article out of it too.

If I could do it over, I would refit that action and save the old one. However, there was nothing about the old one that had been part of the sporterization process (in other words, no gunsmithing artistry or craftsmanship would be lost by its being replaced). But life is not like golf; we don't get do-overs in life.
