The reason why i say stuff is because what you do is wrong. As long as the people no and choose to use your stuff i could care less. The information has been provided and people can check and do what they choose.
You clearly don't worry about safety. And i no your not going to change. So don't keep asking why it's not safe. In comparison to others it is not and never will be period.
Stainless steel is naturally resistant to corrosion, hence the name 'stainless'. What this means is, nothing needs to be done to protect it from heat and fire; stainless is made to resist fire i.e. oxidation. You keep repeating that these screws can't be hardened. So, i guess i will repeat, in my opinion you, yourself, couldn't drill a hole through one of these screws in a week's time, because they are naturally hard, and do not need to be 'hardened'. If you had any real world experience working stainless, you would never say that 18-8 steel is 'soft'.
Do you think that by using bold print and large type, you can change false information into true information?!? It doesn't work that way.
You are the one that wrote that the steel used in these ventliners is rated for 80,000 psi. This means to me, that these stainless ventliners are a way stronger than a normal muzzle loader barrel, and in fact, would be able to withstand the pressure of a smokeless magnum cartridge. I fail to understand why you then continue to write, they are unsafe, when in reality, they are a way stronger than the pressures that occur, in a muzzle loader at ignition.
