No longer milling SP-01's for DP Pros.

[PrimaryBruce]

We get a ton of work from a lot of you guys here for CZ optic milling. (And we GREATLY appreciate it!)

So we just wanted to announce that we are no longer milling SP-01 slides for DP Pros. I don't know if it's because they are so tall, have limited elevation adjustment, or because the pocket can't be milled very deep due to the firing pin block (or all those things combined) - but it seems about 1 in every 8-10 SP-01 slides we mill for a DP Pro can't get a zero. The optic runs out of adjustment. Customer has to have Leupold swap the optic or shim the rear then they work fine. 

We don't have this issue with any other optics on SP-01's but DP Pros.

On SP01's with the firing pin block you have to mill the front of the pocket about 0.003 deeper then the back of the pocket. 

On SP01 Shadows (no firing pin block) you can mill 0.250+ deep and the DP Pro will work just fine.

I know.

That's how we've always done them. Still customers report not being able to get a zero with DP Pros.

Havent seen the issue, our guys are milling with a 1 degree angle to account for the slide

We shim the front the slide on the parallels when we do them.

Still every now and again a customer reports they run out of adjustment. Oddly enough when Leupold swaps the optic they always work fine. Beginning to think they just don't have all the elevation adjustment they advertise.
