Miller, that is a good explanation, the first time I have heard that. I have a 16 E Grade that apparently has done exactly what your described when the ball was adjusted. The doll's head fit great before the ball was turned. Now it is a bit high. I am going to take a fresh look at that gun and see if I can find a ball position that allows the gun to be tight when bolted, but with perfect doll's head position. I did not do the ball adjustment myself because I could not break it loose. I sent it to a skilled double gunsmith to break it loose and he did the unsatisfactory adjustment. Apparently he is not familiar with the phenomenon you mention. By the way, after more than 50 years of fooling with Lefevers, this 16 was the first adjusting ball that defied my efforts. Bill Murphy
