QUIZ: How much do you know on this critical subject?

Well I scored a zero, because I'd never heard of it before. Is that bad, or a badge of Honor??
It's not for everybody but I found the Simpson's hilarious. Homer kind of exemplifies a part of every man. I'd recommend checking it out, likely on You tube.

OTOH I never could get Southpark, turned it off in a hurry.

I had one of the first releases and posted here in this thread way early on, I haven’t kept up with it. Usually when people have this issue it’s how they are gripping the lock/unlock on it. I’ve caught some doing that and accidentally gripping the top on the turret knurling at the same time. If yours just willing moves when you are lock/unlocking then no that isn’t right, would have expected better from CS on resolving that.
I now leave it fully unlocked, however for the times that I do want to lock/unlock it, I grab "the bottle cap" slowly and carefully as if I was grabbing my wife's delicate nipples. ;-)

White Oak Sold

I spoke to one of the new Owners, Mary today. Her and her husband bought WOA from John and moved thr business to Nevada as its a more gun friendly state.

They moved all the WOA equipment from Illinois to the new bigger shop in NV in March and John has been coming out to Nevada and helping with the transition.

New Owners hired a 3rd generation gunsmith recently retired from the AMU.

They have been cranking out barrels with an emphasis on quality as top priority while trying to keep lead times down.

Nice people and looking forward to testing the 2 new barrels I have coming from them. Krieger just shipped and Shilen has to be machined, looking at 6-8 weeks
This is cool news. Gardnerville is in my neck of the woods.

You're lucky then. I've sent mine in twice and Steiner says it working normally. I am not wearing any gloves either. Gloves would make it 10X's worse. This thread is almost 1100 comments long. The locket mechanism is a well known PITA issue in this thread.

Milly is a bitch, but pretty sure the one above of Ike is just his top-row informal. They also did not give them out like popcorn at the movies back then.
