a matt Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) We are going to try fmj's... Something so simple as try FMJ'S, I don't even think about because of frustration. Lol. Thanks guys...It's not even my gun, it's my bro Dave's. But you wanna talk about frustration... Edited August 26, 2015 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuentesd99 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I am going to try a different C-More tomorrow morning. Then I will go from there. I will also take it back to my gun smith and have him take a look at the whole barrel and link. We'll see. I don't have any jacketed bullets and we leave Thursday to shoot GA State. So tomorrow morning/early afternoon is the ONLY time I will be able to fix this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPostman Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Well look at the bright side, at least you found out before the match instead of at the match. Which of course would have sucked major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuentesd99 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Well it still might be a sucked double major this weekend if I don't figure it out by tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuentesd99 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I want to thank everyone for their input and help with this problem. Shadyscott999 said something that I NEVER would have thought about and Alan said it to me as well, and that was to check the gap between the comp and the barrel. Just so happens that they were touching. So I sent Akai a pm on FB and asked him what is the gap supposed to be and he said between 0.002 - 0.005, well mine is now a 0.003. It is NOW hitting where it needs to be. Again, thank you to ALL for helping us out. Now I'm ready to kick some ass at GA State and Area 8 this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuentesd99 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Sarge, my gunsmith milled a couple thousandths off of the comp that's closest to the slide. Edited August 27, 2015 by fuentesd99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sarge, my gunsmith milled a couple thousandths off of the comp that's closest to the slide. OK. I thought you found some magic way of doing it without a gunsmith. I was like, "what the heck did he do to accomplish this without a mill?" As it turns out nothing.... lol Glad you got it figured out in time. still seems odd that it worked one day and not the next no? That would drive me nuts!

Sarge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 If you ONLY knew how crazy and pissed off I was, I almost went FULL RETARD!!!! Sorry, but now that it's all fixed that was just funny as hell right there. It has to be frustrating to pick your 100% gun up and have it do weird stuff out of the blue. Good luck with the matches coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
