  1. I wasn't sure either so I just tried a Zev gen 3 adaptor, recoil rod, and 14 pound spring from my 35. The 41 didn't really want to go into battery with this spring.

    I tried a Jager rod and 14 pound Wollf spring too, and that didn't help, so, I guess I can't use the 14 pound springs that I use in my 17, 34, and 35. Oh well.

  2. Red Loctite #271 will hold the comp in place just fine. When you want to remove it, just hit it with a propane torch for a few seconds and the Loctite will break down. You won't damage anything unless you use too much heat for too long.

  3. I pre-sized thousands of Win .40 cases and cleaned them. Despite already being sized, while loading, they take a little effort through the sizing die. Spraying a quick shot of silicone into the casefeeder helped a lot. Also, just spraying the empty casefeeder plate, prior to dumping in cases, helped a lot.

    And just to drift the thread, I pre-processed all those cases with standard lanolin/alcohol case lube. Like buttah! The lack of effort was almost like there was no case in station one to be sized. But it gummed up the casefeeder plate, tube, adapter, bushing, and shell feed.

    I thought this would be my solution to avoiding having to:

    A.wipe off the lube by hand

    or

    B1. Tumble loaded JHPs

    and then

    B2. Shake all of the media out of the hollow points :wacko:

    The pre-sized cases worked fine during the loading process, but man, I had a lot of jams in the case feeder tray and upside-down cases in the tube. :angry:

    I was loading .40 using the large case feed adaptor plate, and sized the cases

    with the Lee U-Die.
