New Peterson 307

IMHO you are wasting your time with Peterson directly. I sent this photo explaining that I felt the hole was drilled off center and was too high as well as coming in above the bottom of the chamber. Their reply was to send in the pipe. THEN weeks later I get an email stating the pipe is as designed (confirmed from other 999 owners) and that they couldn't tell from the picture I supplied what I was asking about...you tell me what you see!

I actually read that the drilling high into the shank (is that the right word?) is normal for a system pipe. Mine is drilled like that too.

What I don't understand is why they don't bore out the bowl more shallow so that the draft hole doesn't sit so high. I'll probably just fill it with pipe mud. Thanks for sharing your experience.
