@Peter E B posted:Boilermaker, Pecos River Brass has a reputation for lots of cold solder joints so they tend to "self destruct" with little use.

Peter, You might want to aim that comment at the builder, not the Importer. PRB imported MANY models of excellent quality, that did not fall apart. They used MANY different builders. Some were excellent and some as you illustrate, but it's simply not fair to imply everything they imported was poorly built.
