  Oh my, that's so amusing.Friendly advice; don't quit your day job.

  I do not own an Express but an acquaintance who does says he disassembled his and washed it good with
  warm soapy water, and then dried it good and sprayed it with RemOil and wiped it down. He has no r...

  Remington makes some beautiful polished blued finishes. They also make some excellent Parkerized
  finishes. The Express is neither. The Express is a bead blasted rough blued finish and often there are ...

  The Remington haters dog them all, but that doesn't deter too many folks. Aside from a few parts that are
  MIM construction on the Express and forged on the Wingmaster, nice wood versus plastic or lami...

  Don't take my word for it; look up the properties of Titanium and steel alloys, specifically tensile and
  shear strengths. These are measured in pounds per square inch, not by weight, which does not co...
