diehli Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Here are the pics from Dan as well as the text from his email. Enjoy... I know I did!!! From Dan: "Racker dovetail is 60 degree x .360". I cut the center of dovetail .450" from breechface and .125" deep, then blend and contour the racker to the slide. The height of the dovetail on the unfinished racker is .190". After it is fit to the slide, drill a hole at a 45 degree angle with a #29 drill and tap it with an 8-36 tap or use whatever size hole and set screw you want. If you already have an existing dovetail, fit it accordingly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckbradley Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Cant do a Lefty without making a complete new mold and that is way too expensive. I have heard that some gunsmiths cut and weld it but I am not sure how they do it. Just heard from the foundry that it wil be end of January before I get parts. UGH! I will be offering them blank with no set screw and with a set screw. Do you guys want them with a set screw like Dan shows or like the old one with it on top? Another way to mount these which is a Joey Hardy innovation, is to drill a hole into the slide at the bottom of the dovetail. Insert a spring and ball, then roll press it in(however they do it). Drill a detent in the bottom of the racker. This gives retention with an easy on and off feature. I think we are going to try this on our guns if Dan wants to and Joey doesnt object. Phillip you know who to call when you need gun parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckbradley Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hope you dont mean a lefty slide racker. WE should have the rackers in by the time we get to your gun. You are number 7 in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.L. Hardy Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 actually, for lefties the slide rackers that chuck is making can be heated and bent to work on the other side. its not a lot of fun but can be done. i have had a couple done in this manner and they are just as nice as for the right handers. good shooting, j.l. hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.L. Hardy Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 also, make sure you know where to drill if you decide to use the ball detents. i believe there is a thread on here somewhere about it. its simple to do but you must be careful where you drill the slide. good shooting, j.l. hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
