F.G.
Both you and triple se7en are A-OK in my book. Glad you're both here and I enjoy reading your posts.
It really does seem that T/C hasbenefitted greatly from the smearing of BPI. Lots of folks participating, though I think well intentioned for the most part. I don't know of any weak stainless alloys or "soft" ones so I feel 100% comfortable that the Apex will handle everything and anything I intend to stuff in it.
Even so, T/Cwill be around for a long time and they are a good company. Even after the abuse my T/C hawken has been through, its still a shooter after 30 years andI understand still under warranty today. So I guessit fair to say that I sure do hope "america's master gunmaker" continues its gunmaking traditions
