Re: Farmingdale Production Date
Regarding the Farmingdale rifle: I had an issue with a broken tumbler, so I made a new one while I sent the original back to NY, and Shiloh thankfully replaced it...now I have a spare for the rifle. I've had to repair my firing pin block twice. First, the pin itself separated at its base, so I filed it flush and installed a new drill rod pin. It worked fine until the block itself sheared off at the dog-leg. A nice clean fracture from not having been tempered back enough, I silver soldered it back together again, and it has been working well every since.
The rifle has harvested quite a few moose over the years, and won its share of prizes, but I'm looking forward very much to wringing out the new Shiloh.
