  1. Appreciate your insight. Not too worried about it anymore. Will lightly polish the bore with some 800 and 1000 or 1200 grit sandpaper, then send it off to get coated. Thought it was weird as first but seems like it may just be normal-ish.
  2. I appreciate your clarification! So if the bushing needs to have that cutout then wouldn’t there be issues installing a CGW bushing? Those seem to completely round and don’t have that chunk missing
  3. Do you know why that happens? Is this bushing thinner there or does the barrel wear against the bushing more in that area?
  4. Now im even more confused. I just tried to scrape at it with a brass pick and it very lightly scratched the metal in that bore. I can't feel a height difference running over it with a metal pick, im almost wondering if the bushing broke and whats inside the bore is actually a scratch/small gouge down to parent metal instead of the striations all around the rest of the bore from the bushing. Looked around my work area though and didn't see a chunk of the bushing on the floor. May just lightly polish the bore and install the new bushing when it arrives.
  5. so that bushing is supposed to be missing that chunk? the 10x ones on CGW look like theyre solid all around
  6. Not worried about the lockup, but wanted the slide completely stripped so I could send it off to be nitrided. Barrel bushing needed to come off for that and I don’t see a point in reusing it so it’s gonna get replaced
  7. https://imgur.com/a/u5T8Z6N alright fellas hoping the more experienced folks here can take a look. Today I took out my TSO and P-01 barrel bushing. P-01 came out fine, but I had to freeze the slide on my TSO for a bit to get it to move. When it finally popped out the bushing looks like it had a chunk missing, and the bushing bore looks like it has a small sliver left in it. However when I run across it with a scribe I can’t feel a height difference. Is this normal or do I need to find a way to get that bit out of there? Not sure how to do this without potentially gouging the bore with a metal implement.
  8. I have. I’ve been in physical therapy for a while and the stability of the joint just doesn’t give me confidence it won’t give out while under intense movements. Appreciate you trying though!
  9. Gonna be looking at about a year for full recovery, give or take a month, to be able to get back to the level of movement that USPSA demands
  10. Well been working my ass off in PT and have come to a spot where the muscle strength is where it needs to be but theres still consistent pain. Having surgery in December to replace my ACL and repair the meniscus. Looks like matches have been put on hold for another year or so. PLENTY of time for dry fire and to reload ammo and stash it deep so I won't have to worry about that when I get cleared for matches again.
  11. Lol nope, having to take a break
  12. Mine got way rustier than it should’ve been, I had it sand blasted yesterday and today I’m sanding/filing all the pitting out of it. I’ll give the rails a good look and potentially hit them with 600 grit, but I’ve got 2K rounds through it already and everything’s held up great so far.
  13. It’s been a minute since I looked but I only remember him tinkering with regular 75’s. I’ll check it out again though
  14. Have my TSO frame and slide completely stripped. Plan on replacing the front sight pin and a couple rusty screws. May send the slide off to impact machine for the knurling. I'm 100% satisfied with the gun, but figured I hopefully won't have it down to nothing like this again for a long time so might as well do what I can. Are there any notable areas to polish, or parts to add that make a significant difference?
  15. I was gonna start with sand paper and emery boards for the flat sections and see how it goes. Pitting is in an area I might even be able to machine away for a slide racker. Seems like minor pitting so hopefully it goes quickly and easily
