cking Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I was just fitting a ramped 40s&w Nowlin barrel into my new STI 5" Tactical slide/frame. Actually haven't finished yet. But bushing, Hood, feet are done. I was getting ready to fit the link pin and was admiring on how well the fitting went. The barrel feet keep barrel from going too far forward, the ramp keep it from going to rear. Now I know the idea was to lift the barrel at the right time to lock with the slide. But this barrel/slide combo timing was so good that just as the hood hits the slide the barrel feet contact the slide stop and bevel I got on them they just lift that barrel up perfectly. So tell me again why I need a link ??????? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cking Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 DOH! that was a homer! Got so into the uplinking forgot about the unlinking. I simply turned the gun up side down and it wouldn't open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
