I agree. I would have been just as happy without the coating, but it is what it is. Just have to deal with it.

They are probably just so used to copying TC that they didn't stop and think that they didn't have to on this deal

I didn't know TC used SS barrels.

The context was the weather guard coating, remember that's what was chipping, but you probably flunked English , or maybe when you went to school they hadn't voted to decide between English or German yet.

You know what I meant knucklehead.

nice shooter but that chip worries me. You have a muzzle protector that you can use?

I looked at one today over lunch and while the gun seemed to be very well made (much better than the V1 Accura I had), but the finish seemed to be haphazardly applied, especially around the receiver. They really should ditch it, and drop the price about $50.

I have two 9 day hunts this year. I'll give a report on how it held up.

I'm pretty easy on guns though. I hardly ever mark them.

You hardly ever keep them long enough to mark them

Seems to be, but I still have the Winchester 94 30-30 that my dad gave me for Christmas in 1954.

I won't be selling the MR.
