Hi gumpokc,
No I didn't say anything about how to float the barrel, I asked a couple of questions about the laod and it's intended use, then I could have considered evrything and made some suggestions. However the information was not forthcoming just a tantrum

.
As for the rifle well as I understand it all pre 64 model 70's are collectable and I was just trying to pass this on. But the owner does not seem to care. It's his gun and his money so he can waste it as he sees fit. End of story
