rec.crafts.metalworking the following:

Didn't P.O. Ackley do some tests of forces applied to the breechblock?
I seem to remember having read something in one of his books. Seems to
me that they took a Winchester lever action, 92? 94? and tested it. If
I remember the final test was to remove the locking blocks and fire.
The bold staid close.


errr.. the bolt stayed close

That's good to know. But I'm sure it was "the bold" who "stood
close" while that was tested ... B-)
