maintenance in the field

[Timelord]

It was the same model of gun that broke the "carrier" (lifter) last week. this is a very common problem. possibly 30% of them failing. This makes the model unreliable. It is a shame. Even a new replacement will have the same shadow lingering over it. it might fail - It might not?? I would rather not have the gun with this possibility. I will be looking into getting these carriers machined from a block of a molybedenum alloy steel. The rest of the gun and the concept is great, so I do not wish to discard it yet if I can have a superior part made. There are other models with problems too and other manufacturers etc etc :-(
