[QUOTE="ArleighBerg, post: 229058, member: 2384"] I just bought a nice Ben Wade rusticated bent bulldog. It feels great and smokes great. However, being the relative newbie I am, I didn't think of checking with a pipe cleaner before buying at a shop. Because of the bent, the drilling on the mortise of the shank sits a little higher than and out of line of the center hole of the stem tenon. Is ther any reason I shouldn't drill out the mortise with a small hole that aligns with the stem better? [/QUOTE]
