Nada, which is probably the reason there expensive. Ray

Sorry ronlaughlin, your wrong again.

stainless steel can not be hardened. Therefore when compared with regular steel it is slightly stronger than an un-hardened (grade 2) steel fastener but significantly weaker than hardened steel fasteners.

That's a good point. But why are the T/C'S so expensive? I could be wrong, but i though most parts were made right at T/C. Even the barrels????

What you haven't proven is that Ron's vent liner isn't more than strong enough to do the job. Just because someone else makes it stronger, doesn't mean Ron's will fail.

I don't understand why you're pushing this so hard?

Im with you Semi.......enjoyed reading the post only problem I have is the ****ey replys. Before someone makes a certain statement how about a little background of ones expertise. Another question comes to my mind is what about all those guns that cost 1/3 the price of say a T/C or Knight. Are they using inferior products?

I have proven everything that i said.

To be honest, why even test something that you already no is not better? Maybe to save money, but in his case he's not when you factor time and materials. A savage vent-liner cost $3.00 bucks and will last most people several years with BH209.

Muley Hunter, i don't like being called a liar. I am far from perfect, and make many mistakes. A liar i am not. That is what ruffled my feathers.

What you said above i agree 100%

Now if that rapid erosion happens at the range, and powder drops into the breech plug???? Just ask Henry Ball what could happen.

I should also explain this. The quality of the breech plug makes a difference as well. A high quality plug will make a difference versus a cheap soft cva plug.

C'mon grouse, your on your heels now lol.$800.00 for a LRH that uses a plastic primer holder? then more $$ so it fires clean with the Lehigh kit? let's not go there my friend. Ray

I agree about being called a liar. That gets me upset too. Especially when someone thinks they have you figured out from a few posts.

If you believe this you are delusional.

Information available read that 18-8 stainless has a tensile strength of 125,000 psi. The tensile strength of hardened grade 5 steel is read at 120,000 psi. Numbers in print indicate that stainless is stronger than grade 5 hardened steel, which you have written isn't true.

Very very little of what you have written is 'proven', let alone true.
