You're entitled to your opinion, whatever it is. Please show me the same courtesy.
I don't believe I denied it. I always offer that courtesy when it's stated as opinion. If it's stated as fact, I sometimes question (civily) its veracity. I try to attack the argument, or even the position, but not the individual.
"Which vintage guns are you willing to state are safe to shoot with modern ammo?"
I'll also give you my courteous
opinion based on some facts...
In my opinion, all of my 1920-1930 A.H. Foxes are safe to shoot with modern ammo due the
fact that each gun has digested from 1500-4,000 modern factory loads with virtually undetectable wear. Additionally, the 16ga digested upwards of 15,000 handloads suggested to be at 9,700 psi. In the 18 months since I completed my project 12ga SW, it has fired 2,000 Nitro27's, 2,000 AA's and 18,000 handloads at 9,100 psi, again with no detectable wear. Altogether, I put more than 50,000 rounds through 5 Foxes without generating any detectable wear, much less an "unsafe" condition.
Based on my personal experience (and others that I'm aware of), I'm willing to state that any A.H. Fox,
deemed safe to shoot with any ammo, is safe to shoot with modern ammo.
