Randy wakeman,

To introduce myself I am Tony Battista, From my experience of working as a machinist I assumed that BPI uses the hammer forging technique since from the sound of their barrel making technique description, hammer forging sounds the closest to what they were explaining... also I never said A&H get their barrels from CVA................. I simply stated they are made in the same plant that also happens to be contracted by BPI, which I cant say im completely sure about since its just hearsay I heard from a friend who shoots both A&H and CVA's. Hmmm Hearsay which is what your claims are anyway...... One thing I do know for a fact is BPI barrels and A&H barrels have the same proofing mark on them which according to you that proofing mark makes BPI guns unsafe so basically that would make A&H's unsafe too?, according to your theories and speculations. But according to you A&H are perfectly safe and are ok to shoot. All your ideas and speculation about BPI guns is entirely based on the proofing mark which A&H has the same mark, but are OK...... you make no sense.... What is your deal what do you have against BPI guns??? Once again I will ask where are all these BPI guns that blow up all the time???? Also since you are such the expert I would love to know what ML company uses cut rifling?? The reason I know your name is because I’ve read several of your posts in the past. and to tell you who I am I'm the guy who wants solid evidence from you that shows BPI guns are unsafe. I have been shooting CVA and traditions muzzle loaders for nearly 15 years and have never had any such problem you claim that BPI products have or will have because of their proofing mark......
