You need leverage to tighten it tighter than tight. I believe Arca mod's the B1 (if it isn't the latest version) as I sent mine in to be unlocked and that was ten years ago. It hasn't even hinted of locking up since. Jim At 04:58 AM 10/4/00 -0700, Pete Su wrote: >I've had Really Right Stuff catalogs before.
