here is what happened today.
gunsmith by name JACK called me from t/c.
he said OLD STYLE hawkins did have the vent LOW and off center on some guns.
he said NEW ones are on center and HIGHER.
he said hunters said they could not get the vent out unless they took barrel out or removed the lock.
they said they were also getting missfires.
so, t/c raised it.
NOW SAME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE VENTS ARE TOO HIGH AND NOT GOING OFF. :surrender:
he liked the vent where it was only he agreed,you could not take vent out OLD WAY.
he said, like you, that the vent location means nothing on it going off as long as it is not covered.
so, through this i guess he is saying,YES T/C VENTS WERE NOT ON CENTER BUT CORRECTED NOW AND NOW HAVING NEW PROBLEMS OF BEING TO HIGH MAYBE.
he feels if something is working, dont change it.
you know, at times he is right.
he also said there is no correction for the off center vent but i bet if you send in barrel,they will correct it with one on center,he did not say that, just me but DO YOU WANT THE HIGHER VENT HOLE THAT MAY CAUSE ANOTHER PROBLEM, MAYBE?
ALSO, i got to talk to GAIL LYNCH.
she said to ask for her on your e-mails and SHE WILL GET BACK TOO YOU.
i believe that too. :thumbsup:
