"You use T7. I'd use less of that."
Certainly one reason I'm glad I have this ROA. With 777 it's about like having a Dragoon. And it weighs a pound less.

On another forum I read a post from someone who had also bent and fixed his base pin and has been using it for 4 yrs without incident. I'd still like one that hasn't been compromised, but with the portion that had bent well inside the frame and supported it may be just fine.

Here's to hoping I never do that again! It would definitely ruin the day were I to bend it again out on a hunting trip!
