yep that's what I thought.

you'll have to use a notched hammer if you do
most tubes are drilled and tapped for either position-13xx's are only drilled and tapped in the forward position
I prefer front screws as it pulls the breech down nearer the tp and seals better

Great....looks like the rear hole I have drilled for breech screw will mean the said screw will be struck by hammer on firing

just get a notched hammer or put a notch in yours
