Mike,
Don't worry about a swedge fitting. When they are done properly they
are bullet proof. Inspect the swedge fiiting when you pick it up at
the rigging shop. It should be perfectly straight with no curve to it.
Make sure the rigging shop has the proper machine for doing your swedge.
Have fun,
Casey

but this one would mean a swedged lower fitting. I would rather have
a norsman or stalock in this possition due to concerns about crevase
corrosion and spliting of swedged fittings.
