I thought putting a loose action 'back on face' did not involve any adjustment to the frame. Was the smith saying that each shot was bending the frame, but all was good with the pin, face of the barrels, etc. I wonder if it was just a pain in the tail gun, that was getting into more time than the job was worth.
