[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 1490, member: 3"] Ok so here's the deal. I have these 2 Dunhills, a 1964 6120 and a 1977 51033. Both have gaps in the shank between the end of the tenon and the end of the mortise - as in you put the stem in and there's still a gap in there of about 1/8th of an inch where stuff can accumulate. The Lat man remedied the 51033 with a delrin insert that is a perfect fit for the gap, and the 6120 will end up going the same route. Once the insert was put in the pipe smoked wonderfully. It tended to gurgle before and tasted off because of the hard, old build up that had taken hold there over the years. Is this not unusual with Dunhills? [/QUOTE]
