I never heard of a crown issue using the sabots -- just conicals which doesn't suit the Encore/Omegas anyways. Too bad T/C doesn't use Mike Belm's hinge pins.
The 'internet terrorist" got a good chuckle from me. I'm still smiling on that one. Like I referred earlier -- I read all his ML reviews & agree with them basically. The rest of what he preaches is questionable... in my opinion. He gets bouncy-bouncy as the years roll by on some topics -- but I understand that as his knowledge of the sportincreases due to increases in technology, his opinions will change. I also understand his allegiance to those that want his endorsement name - for endorsement money in return. If you follow his past, you can separate the items. If not, then the newbies will likely buy what he recommends - until they learn the sport better.
He keeps the regular, ML-experienced posters interested in his ideals - then gets the newbies to spend money in what he recommends.That hasn't changed in this business sincethe sportspopularity started risingbig-time around 1990 - by the word-of-mouth from inline buyers.
I'm done here. Won't come back to this thread -- no need to.
I doubt you had heard of problemsI have had with T/C. Idon'tthink you have been to my house or seenmy guns.Crown problems mean,the crown was out of round, and it was on a centerfire, not ML barrel. I somewhat agree with accessemnt of Randy.
T/C doesn't have to use a mike belms hinge pins but just should have quality control, within. 001" on both the barrelholes and encore hinge holes. Sure when I call, I hear, just send it in. Myself, I would rathergive 50 dollars thanto fight to ship afirearm. I realize I somewhatvoided the warranty having myframe hingemilled to put in an oversized pin, but it was worthit.
