Hard to find a good forum for P80 nowadays, so I am relying on my go-to source for things that go bang: THR. Hoping someone can assist with this question.
I just bought a jig for a Polymer80 full-size pistol frame (PF940V2), and the frame and jig don't seem to be mating all that well. There is a significant gap in both ends of the jig with the frame installed, and that sure doesn't seem normal to me. Even taping it does not hold the jig fully shut.
The problem seems to be that when the frame is inserted into the jig, it is so tight that it's pushing the end of the jig outwards, causing the splaying you see in the photos.
I saw on another website that someone else had a similar problem. The pictures below are of his P80. My frame-and-jig looks exactly the same.
My question: Did those of you who have built a PF940V2 (full-size) frame experience this same issue with the jig? Or is it possible that the jig is just plain defective? (I've heard that P80's quality control isn't the best; could that be the issue?)
The vendor has offered to send me a replacement (after a bit of nudging by me), but I wonder if the replacement might be even worse.
Thanks
