    So, apparently, Gr.3 hadn't been used since the GB5 had been installed in their(Stoval's) house (and removed from the shop).  If I had known that first, I would have chemical-cleansed it first.  The screw suffered from metal fatigue, according to a machinist.  He's going to see what he can do.  Crazy times.  Tell your peeps to keep their stuff clean! (not that you don't already, but here's a horror story to keep in your pocket in case you need to scare them into it)
