I am not apposed to paying more for a better lock. That was my Kibler example. Chris Laubach has a more expensive one and also VERY nice. I did not think Kiblers lock was spongy just better geometry oin the lock. I was just expressing my displeasure. The whole state of the Union is messed up, reminds me of Carter era. Inflation has hit us, we, the builders and lovers of Longrifles. Just sayin whats next?!
