Vmax606

IF the slide and barrel are still in good condition, check out ACCU-RAIL. The slide will move sooo smooth and hardly any play at all.

They were $7/K and went up to $11/K when Bill C. got elected, but then I was making $5/hr.

What a rip off ! When I first started shooting, they were $7 / K.

Remove the barrel, coat the round with magic marker then that should tell you why it would not chamber.

You are making a big deal out of nothing ! Just file a tiny bit off the TS and tiny bit from the front of the V shape cut out on the slide !

If the SS only moves at the very last moment of the lock up, then your barrel feet has very short flat, that is how combat guns are fitted, for guns that are built for accuracy, they try to keep the flat as long as possible. What is the flat ? You have to look it up if you don't know.

DO NOT mess with the barrel feet. The barrel was fitted with the slide a little further back that's all, since the gun shoots very good right now, the simplest solution is removing just a tiny bit of material at the front of the V shape cut out in the slide to let the TS go up a little more. The dimension of that V shape thing does not have to be a certain size and has no negative effect on anything .

Have you tried doing it with heat but without the BrakeKleen ? BrakeKleen may leave some residue and cut down the effectiveness of the glue. But I think the main reason is the checkering on the grips that reduces the contact surface.

Take a look at this one. GB item # 917652038

$1008 for 10K of Federal SP Match primers after shipping and sale tax from Natchez .

You should not even use the one that you do not feel resistance when seating the primers.

Do NOT use any brass with loose primer pockets, it will cause the flame to go back and pit the breech face.

COD.

If they are coated bullets, and all you want are the brass and the primers, then it's a lot quicker just to run the rounds through the sizing die with the decapping pin removed, the brass spring back out but not the lead bullets, I did that and I could just pull the bullets out by hands, it's a lot quicker and a lot less messy.

Reshape the decapping pin, make it a little more pointed.
