If in fact the Strain Screw is purposely backed out in your Revolver I would place a call to Gary and request a few new ones so that you can custom make the length you need to be 100% reliable. IMHO that was part of HIS job.I am unaware of any Professional GS's who leave Strain Screws purposely un-tightened.
Reeder's shop has a great reputation. I see no indication that he backed out the strain screw as part of the action job. It may have been loose before Reeder touched the gun. I would not cast aspersions on his professionalism without knowing the entire story.
