M1 Edgamacation

[Grizzman]

I wish I would have known that a few months ago. I've been having short stroking issues with mine with handloads using 4064, Varget, & H4895 since I got it.

A few days ago, I pulled the action out of the stock and noticed the parkerizing beginning to wear off the bottom of the op rod, where there is some contact with the sling swivel band (whatever that parts' called). I took some material off the band to eliminate all contact. I'll shoot it again this weekend to see if that allows it to cycle with proper powders.
