Today I used the older style Warner jig and a Power Series I Universal Stoning Fixture to stone a new long EGW sear and installed it with the EGW hammer and disconnector. Also fit a new left-hand half of the ambi safety. I took my time and it came out to my liking. With nothing more done to the sear spring, the pull is now a zero-creep 2 lbs 10 oz, down 9 oz from what it was with the factory sear/hammer/disco.
Now the only MIM part in the gun is the ejector, which I’ll only replace if it breaks.
Function check tomorrow at Cowtown range. If all goes well, I’ll install the Atlas trigger shoe and bow.
Ordered an Impact Machine optic plate for an SRO. Here’s the link for the plate:
Does your prodigy fit the Ipsc box for standard div? Thanks

They aren't. I installed all the standard EGW parts in mine and they work fine. Only difference I recall is the mainspring, which was shorter. But I changed out the ms housing and am using a standard Wolff spring.
Hi, do you know if the prodigy with the iron sights fit the IPSC BOX for standard division? Thanks

Every gunsmith here in the philippines does it with no problems.
And yet, there is at least one custom gun manufacturer and many professionals who use tungsten sleeved barrels. Maybe you should speak with one of them to get more understanding of the concepts? From your description, you clearly missed it.

IMHO tungsten sleeve was just a waste of time and money. It weakens your barrel by trimming it to thinner metal." that space between the barrel and the tungsten???". I don't see the logic were people use tungsten to put weight to the front yet they lighten up the front slide? Duh!
Mine has 50k rounds on it and no problems. Depends maybe on the gumsmith doing it.

So a "tungsten sleeved barrel" is not weight attached to barrel?

no more tungsten sleeved barrel in ipsc??
Tungsten still allowed -

STI and I have had a relationship for over 25 years, some of you know the story. I wouldn’t be where I am without them. Westwind Investors, the parent company of STI, is committed to making STI the premier firearms manufacturer in the world and bringing the joy of shooting to people everywhere. Nate Horvath, STI’s CEO, and I are confident that I can help them achieve that goal. That is why I am now the Senior Director of Operational Excellence. That’s a fancy title, but it basically means “hang on to your STI hat, cause there’s some cool stuff comin’”.
I have not sold or reduced my role at Dawson Precision in any way. We will continue to grow and improve at the same pace thanks to our awesome team.
On behalf of Dawson Precision and STI, I want to thank all of you, our loyal customers! We could not have done this without you.

Barrel fitting, slide to frame fitting sucks. Stop the korean made products -
So my meticulously maintained SVI of three years and ~20k rounds 170PF (IPSC) has a cracked lower barrel lug. I'm assuming the SVI factory lifetime warranty will take care of this?
Wow

Not according to the company.
Ask again. I’m sure you are wrong -
Looking to rebarrel my 40 Limited gun (bull barrel) and I notice that Infinity barrels are 1:24 twist where bar-sto and everyone else it seems are 1:16. What’s the advantage / disadvantage. Will 1:24 stabilize a slow moveing 200gr bullet?
Sv non aet barrels are 1:16 -
My STI 2011 slide stop is walking out during a stage after years of faithful use. I had to keep my thumb on it to hold it in. What do I do to fix this?
Change it and use EGW

The new management at STI is great news - I hope they manage to regain the reputation for quality which was lost in recent years.
Lets hope for that -
yes it is, STI has not outsourced any parts to dasan in almost two years. If it is not marked dasan then it was not machined by dasan.
I dont think so. I think STI is outsourcing for bigger profit and i know you wont admit it -
As a disclaimer, I am new STI employee...
STI does not use any foreign parts or materials anymore. Yes in the past they used some frames and slides that were partially machined from dasan, who also makes frames and slides for numerous other US firearms manufacturers, and even has a factory in Georgia. However under the new ownership of STI that practice has stopped, and all frames, slides, and parts a re machined from raw stock in house at their Georgetown Texas plant. If anyone doubts this is our current practice, come to Georgetown and I will take you on a tour of our facility and show you the whole operation from raw stock material certs, to the finished product.
The frame i posted above came from a new shipment from the USA. Is this an old stock? -
Do they make STI slides too??
Yes they do -
+1
Dasan has been building parts for them for a very long time now, as I understand it.
Yes but i didn’t know that they also build frames for STI
