    Any option is possible but tuning an Indian lock is much more more cost effective & something many can do with some online research & mechanical abilities.

    India Barrel Failure

    Unconstitutional aniti-American States like Ca., NY, Cuba & the legal weasel dictators that run them should not be allowed to generate any laws or regulations that are valid beyond their borders.

    India Barrel Failure

    Many forum members propose that our moderators terminate this pointless pooping competition immediately !! Like most ML gunsmiths, we all can recall numerous component faults & failures that have surfaced with even upper end firearm manufacturers. Few firearms are fault free, we just fix &...
