Anyone know of a firm who will EDM machine slots/holes in a slide/barell? and a way to contact them?

Yup. Pretty easy task. Just welded the EGW mag well on last week. #14 Wolfe hammer spring, 10 #recoil spring. EGW sear going in soon...... Unless you are a VERY accurate with your screw measurements/locations ? You might scribe a line on the BACKSIDE(hides the scribe mark) of your new made scope mount and make a pencil tracing and center punch the screw locations.... even if you mess up!!! ...make another mount! What's nice about the EEA guns, there is no offset as on STI/Colts.

I've made my own. Pretty simple if your at all handy? Go to Lowes/Home D. Purchase a 2" wide piece of 1/8" thick aluminum ($8/9) and you can make 5 or 6 from the 4' piece.(Blast shield and all). The single sided version is fine/works great The worst part was to try to find the metric screws.... I just retapped the gun to the usa size. Tools required... hacksaw, file, vise, counter sink, I've only owned "C-Mores", put them on all types of weapons. Brazos has the good price on them. I'm just building a large frame in 38 Super/ 9mm.

A little late? BUT I had a very similar problem..... It was the GRIP! Nearly drove me NUTS, as it was VERY intermitant. (maybe once every other stage) Try this... unloaded gun of course... grip the frame & grip... try to push them in opposite directions ... if you see ANY movement.... you have found your problem.... replace the grip portion. mine had a very slight amount of movement but it was enough to allow sear/disconnector parts not to be in proper position. Tightening the 2 grip screws didn't help as I had removed material from the top of the grip for "safety" clearence(too much removed?). Little tip---- Sometimes the 2 button head screws are difficult to get started when changing the grip.... I use a small flat washer and longer screw WITH a nut in between the washer and screw head on the outside of grip, then tread into the inner female threaded part , then tighten the nut against the washer... it will "pull" the inner female part into perfectr position... It's a snap to get the short "button" heads in then.
