Fred, I have lost the business card of the Roanoke gunshop I visited in summer 05. Gun definitely an LCS w/ steel barrels and same longitudinal rip. I don't think there'd be much buyer interest as I don't believe the action bar indicated a higher grade gun.

What salutary effect does case hardening action bars have, Miller? I've heard postulated a bimetal spring effect and also resistance to abrasion, nicks and dents.
