Ed while I can see why you erroneously believe that, old guns are made for a variety of pressures and loads. They do not all require light loads. While tight screws for some designs is important, as in a loose tang screw, unskilled people messing with action screws have messed up more guns than I care to think.

Looking at the mangled screws on one of my high grade guns makes me want to club some unknown fool.

It is not wise to counsel this single universal, as you do here.
