I’m happy to hear another example of someone “escaping” from corona without too much trouble. We’ve certainly been hearing plenty of bad news lately.

I hear these stories from time to time of metal chips sizable enough to cause trouble getting into the mechanisms of new S&Ws. It’s not all that uncommon. I am fairly familiar with metalworking, manufacturing, and “employees.” Whenever I hear these stories I always wonder whether the problem was purely accidental, whether there is a serious process problem, or a process is not being observed, or ... whether some sort of devious behavior was involved. Anyway, good to know you got the 39 squared away without it being seriously damaged.
