My top two mods were;

I have a UK Stealth and these are anti-tampered by means of a shear head bolt being used in one of the barrel bush fixing points.

I’m with you,,,and never have locked the breech. One less thing to make a noise really,,when it rebounds off the top hat/valve and is stopped by the frame.

Yet,,if you slide the breech on,,the wrong way round ie. top hat end forward,,,then the fit is a lot tighter. I tried this with two different breeches and got the same result.

I’ve gone down the strong spring/lightish hammer /standard breach route to minimise a lock time which is not really helped by a 24″barrel.
