Recently I have been studying several different open top Colt models, as I am about to order a new gun. With each model it seems that your choice boils down to a civilian model, or a military model with the cuts for a stock. Do the cuts in any way contribute to the possibility of a higher incident of a chain fire? It would seem that a barrier, however minimal, on both sides has been reduced. This would seem to allow for fire to get to the caps more easily. It is my understanding that most chain fires occur from the cap area, assuming the open end of the chamber is properly wadded and the ball shaved upon seating. Thanks
