Interesting detail on new Mountain Guns

[SLT223]

I guess they heard people were put off by the small burn ring on the cylinder from the forward rear sight screw not filling the through cut whole in the top strap. Well, they are using a longer screw filed to length now. At first when I noticed the lack of the burn ring, I credited myself for making ultra clean ammo. Then I remembered it's same old stuff I've loaded and shot forever….Ive had enough time off to actually forget…it's been about four years since I've burned powder. I looked at the top strap hole and sure enough….

This pic is of the new 629-9 MG. The new 686-7 MG and 617-7 MG are identical. Same treatment.
