Daizee and dstates, welcome to the club.
Sorry for my delayed welcome. Busy week and got caught up in some knife threads.
Both of you have already added nicely to the club with your first posts.
Daizee, what an awesomely beautiful rifle. We'd love more pics and a range report when you shoot it.
dstates, thanks much for your kind words about the club. And yep, coming up on 3 years. Time flies. I might have a few random thoughts about break in for rifles, but I'll leave that question to more knowledgeable folks. I'm still a grasshoppa here.
But to answer your last question, yes, got the 39 back, and he said it checked out. Nothing wrong with the firing pin in his opinion, but was an ammo problem. He claims that it was the CCI ammo I was shooting, and that I should stick to Remington and Winchester.
With all due respect to him, because he's a great gunsmith, I don't fully believe that. I think there are issues with the pin, and some advice I got on another site may help resolve it ... if I can get any time to deal with it.
Speaking of time, I've decided to close my business - it's been suffering since the economic downturn 1.5 years ago - and move onto my next project. This transition is pretty well thought out, but it's going to be time consuming, and I'll be traveling a lot for the next six months.
So there will no doubt be times when I disappear from the club.
It's not a lack of interest, just trying to earn a living.
