I found several references to these threads and tracked several of them down. I had in fact found this list by searching for other information on the Mark 15 on Google and so had already read several of these threads. Very informative. Looking them over again, I find reference to loose adjustment screws but no reference to how to tighten them up a bit. Maybe a general search on making screws tighter in a metal working context would provide some good information. Thanks for the input. Paul Flint Kawasaki, Japan
