That quite possibly is true.  After all one of the "eases" of wetting is not having
to take apart the action esp. when using the  Dripolator. Therefore consistancy
cannot be checked as in repinning. There are checks which for me are close enough.
Standing the action on end and tilting until the hammers start to move. A slow one
here will really stick out. But that is only one set of centers on uprights.   Grand
wips seem to show pretty good on this test.

I wonder what I will get from the factory?

Probably a note saying,  "Correction.  The mixture should be 50:50"   ; )   ric
