My point was that my > best guess is that repining a verdigris action is NOT a 75 year > satisfactory fix.? I repinned an action with verdigris 10 years ago,? it was frozen back within 5 years,and nothing seemed to help. Replacement is the only thing I have seen cure the problem in the flanges.? I have reflanged several upright actions and that appears to solve the problem.?
