Same thing happened to me. STI must have packaged it wrong.picked up an STI 9mm slide and measured the breech face width as .435.. isn't this too wide?
im wondering if I can still use this..

I thought those type dents were from the brass deflector on most uppers.

Very nice Chuck. Looks like some time went into that.

Search "Enos" and it will show up as Brian's forum.I have been unable to connect with Tapatalk for the past month or so and yesterday I deleted it and thought maybe re-adding it back might be the kick in the rear it needed. Seems I can't even find this forum now when searching within Tapatalk.
But it still won't work, hasn't worked since November for me.

Best person to answer those questions is JP. They know their rifles.
Congratulations on getting a great rifle.
I have a heat sink simply because I wanted one.

The frame you see that has a gap is a newer frame with a relief cut for a slide stop.Kimbertarget, this is what your looking for.

I have one on my Edge.
Sorry for the crappy pic.
Is there a little bit of space on the bottom side? It seems like the picture with the executive fits much cleaner.
It does look cleaner with the older frame.

I think if .3" stroke is added to the slide by extending the frame rail guide, then .3" needs to be removed from the back side of the recoil plug tunnel. If this is done, then the only way to hide the .3" removed from the tunnel is to use a long dust cover frame and cut it back from the front just to hide the gap.
If you extend the rail guide and don't cut the recoil plug tunnel you are not getting the "stroke".

Yep, me too. It acts like its frozen on since Dec 9.

Who is only using the RT 1200B to fully size their .223 brass along with trimming?
If you use a sizing die before the RT 1200B please tell me why?
I plan to use a universal decapping die in station 1, Rt 1200B in station 3.

Rocky, go after Blue Bell ice cream.

I use a lyman M-die. It puts just a little flare on the case mouth so seating bullets is easier. Have to be careful with it and I don't think its for everyone.
Thanks for this information. Tell me when its best to do neck expansion. Because I was looking at putting in station
1 - Dillon FL size/deprime/neck expander for .223 or Redding equivalent.
2 - GS custom primer pocket swage
3 - Dillon rapid trim 1200B for .223
5 - Lyman neck expander M die.
Sure seems to be a lot of neck expanding. Am I missing something?
On the load head
1 - Dillon universal deprimer
2 - primer/powder
3 - powder check
4 - Dillon bullet seater or Redding equivalent.
5 - Dillon tapper crimp or Redding equivalent.

Theoretically, you set up one head with a deprime/resize at station 1, use the 650 swager at st 2, use the 1200 trimmer at st 3, and perhaps use a ball neck resizer at st 4.
The manifold on the Dillon trimmer is large enough in diameter that it prevents the ability of installing dies into a 650 tool head in adjacent stations. So you can put the trimmer at 3 and have dies in one and 5 but 2 and 4 are blocked. You will also need to make or modify the front tool head retaining pin to use the trimmer in #3.
Thanks for this information.
-
What neck resizer at station four?
Tell me a name brand and model.
Thanks
Scott

H. Smith still tune?
Nope

Call Fords in Florida as an option.

You'll need to get a sample of both and find out which one meets your accuracy expectations in your barrel.
Everyone has an opinion of what's best for whatever the reason but you won't know till you test them both and maybe others.
