Thus, with the expected lower friction and lighter hammers of a well used action, the ration will gradually increase to take advantage of the condition. Perhaps, over the life of a set of action parts, the ratio would increase from say 5.8 to 6.0, mainly as a result of creating a shorter moment arm on the whippen.
