  1. I’m having some trouble with 2 if my 9mm 140’s 

     

    bullets get jammed side by side near the bottom of the magazine. I️ was told that I️ need to squeeze the magazine in a vise to close the tolerances. 

     

    Sti tubes with spacers 

    taran basepads 

    gram follow and spring. 

     

     

    Any any help would be appreciated. 

  2. Finally decided to pull the trigger on converting my old limited gun into an open steel gun for the fun of it. Ordered a couple new parts like slide, compensator, optic set up and we are now on our way.

    I went ahead and ordered the ck slide and it is in spec. It is a tad loose on my old frame and debating whether or not to weld onto the rails to get a nice tight fit. 

    I will have to weld up the holes that are already in the frame from the thumb rest that was previously on the frame. 

    I will post pictures of my journey along the way as well as descriptions. 

    Plan:
    Cut the slide down .5", lighten to get slide under 10oz by tri-topping, internal lightening cuts, and thru slide cuts. I will also have to add serrations since I won't be adding a racker this go around.
