I'm gonna need more luggage - do you have any idea how many people I'm smuggling? :eek: Seriously, I'm very fortunate.


Quite honestly, I don't know what choices we have - Bob does get the frames and slides from Caspian. I wonder if Damascus slides are more difficult to work with - isn't Damascus steel extremely hard?

BTW - I just checked, and the over travel screw was out almost to the point of falling out. I set it per the instructions mentioned above. We'll give 'er a try tomorrow. Trust me, no more 'n two at a time in the mag - can't make holsters with my face shot off.

That seemed to fix it
 

The winning answer? Overtravel screw.

100 flawless rounds at the range today - first few were the worst I've ever shot, flinching all over the place. :D

Also, now that I'm past that, I have to declare victory with the barrel bushing - accuracy and consistency with this gun are much improved.

Now, to finish checkering the front strap - oh, and a couple of holsters.

Thanks again to all those who've offered up suggestions. It's nice to be able to ask a question and not be reminded how stupid you are (I've got kids for that).

Lane

That is great news.....and you (and I) even learned something.

Lane,

Glad to hear it's working flawlessly.nanner Didn't you adjust the sear spring? How do you know it wasn't the spring too?

That slide is $800 all by it's lonesome.:( I guess it's something to dream about.

Instead of smuggling people in you could do a blog. Just a thought.:D

Greg

I shot it after I messed around with the spring, so it wasn't that - at least not exclusively.

I probably will - there are several people interested/jealous of my journey (sortta like climbing the mountain to see the guru...)

Lane

Glad to hear that you got it working Lane!!!:)

Sorry I wasn't here to help with your trigger-bounce problem lane, did you by chance, read any instruction on installing a trigger and setting the overtravel screw beforehand?

how's your Pre-Travel?

I'm going to answer this because I know you wont yell at me - well maybe not too much. I did read up on trigger/sear fit and what to look for, etc. I didn't pay particular attention to the trigger pre/over travel. I now know that wasn't the smartest plan. Fortunately, Darwin hasn't decided to thin my end of the gene pool yet.

The over travel has been set, but I haven't checked the pre-travel yet - it's clamped in the checkering jig, and I don't want to move it it (BTW - checkering is moving along nicely - somewhat tedious...)

Thanks again for all of the input and useful, non-flame comments. One day, I hope to be able to add useful input for others.

Lane

Lane, No step by step photos?

:pics:

Kidding..........not....:D:D

I'm not sure about the pre travel, some triggers don't have the tabs on the bow?:confused:

Maybe start another thread about checkering:D. And we'll keep talking triggers on this one..................Hehehehe Hint, hint.:D
