What a great match, everything went extremely smooth due to all the hard work and preparation by the staff. Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for everyones hard work. Next time if you could just get mother nature to behave better that would be great...

Sorry its been so long since I got back in here. Got the thumb rest on and as mentioned there was no need to change the recoil spring. The gun returned to position and stayed flat just as before. I have only shot the gun a couple of times but so far I am really liking the way it feels.

Fixing to add a thumb rest to my Caspian open gun and wondering how it will effect the recoil spring? Almost seems as if you may have to go down in spring weight to keep the slide from dipping the muzzle as it closes.

So I measured things more accurately at work. The major Dia is right on at .400 for the most part and the groove to groove measurement is .394 dia. I still need to call Schueman and see what they say.

What an offer...

I have tried the precision moly and it leaded up my barrel pretty bad and was very very difficult to get it clean out near the end of the barrel. However they shot real nice. I think once I get through this last batch of the plated I will just stick with the JHP of which are ruffer but have not had any issues with.

It shoots jacket reasonable well, maybe 2-3 inches at 20-25 yards. However it was keyhole(ing) some of the plated rounds I was shooting through it today. When I benched them the 10 or so I shot were accurate, so I was just trying to figure out why they were tumbling... good thing is I only have a couple hundred of them left then back to MG.

Wondering if my barrel is still good or not so I slugged it with a .400 precision black bullet. Its a Schueman AET Gain Twist barrel. The main part of the bullet measured .3985-.3990 and the grooves left in the bullet measure .395-.394 best I can measure them. I'll get better measurements when I get to work on Monday. Anyone have any idea on what it's supposed to measure?

Thanks for the advise about Skip, it looks like I was finally able to evict ol Skip Chambers. It was not as easy as a burr on the cylinder, it was not as easy as replacing the cylinder stop, in fact it became a personal battle with me and ol Skip. Turns out the cylinder stop was dragging on either the trigger or the frame and not wanting to return pass the point where it just barely made contact with the cylinder. So took just a little off the sides and ol Skip Chambers left the house! Now lets see how it shoots.

Crossbreed Supertuck for me with the upgraded leather, but that Adams Holster looks real nice!

Thanks for the response, there were some burrs on the back side of the cylinder locating grooves that I removed and there might have been some small burrs on the front side of the grooves right at the end of the ramps I don't really remember. I will have to check it out tonight. I have heard great things about your hammers and trigger work... I might just have to send this thing to you here soon.

Just purchased a 625 and when you pull the trigger slow or moderate everything is fine, timing, lock up, etc. However when you pull the trigger hard and fast the cylinder skips past the lock and can end up anywhere. The spring in the lockup tab seems fine, I switched the lockup block and spring with another one and same problem. The internals are spotless and well oiled. The cylinder grooves look good. The lockup tab does not seem to be binding on anything. The only thing I have not tried is to also put the trigger from my other gun in there to see if maybe the trigger is holding onto the lockup block a little to long but it does not look like it is, just not sure if the hand would still be in time well enough to actually try that. The only minor out of the ordinary thing I can see is that the lockup block does not rub perfectly in the center of the cylinder but is back just slightly. I am at a loss... any ideas?

That is what I was after thank you.

Hmmm Thanks that Henning ConeFit guide rod looks like a great idea... I will have to pick on of them up

Hey that is a good link... thanks, had not seen that one!
