I'm not a gunsmith by any stretch of the imagination, but by the looks of that buggered screw, cylinder notch wear, loose rod, and poor refinish,...
On some of my semiautos I used a water based flourescent paint called Glow. Once exposed to light they are bright, but not for long. Maybe should...
Better late than never, especially when it's more good advice. I won't be getting to it for a few weeks, but will post the results. Thanks
You people are scaring me, I more than occasionally find myself looking at a clock when it's 6:42.
Mosin77 has the right idea. If you haven't been to the closer one since June it makes no sense to pay the yearly dues plus extras. I'm confused...
Thanks, I'm going to try prying it out with a punch, while pushing in the hook at the same time. Since I don't have three hands I'll put the slide...
442 for beach and around town, 686 for wilderness adventures. Have a safe and enjoyable time, I would love to do the same sometime.
That is an excellent tutorial indeed! I remember reading it some time ago, and used the shake test. My 1911 seems to extract fine. I also checked...
So I push the hook against the slide to take some of the flex out of it while prying the other end at the FP stop slot, or get the extractor tool....
Thank you for the quick reply JTQ. It only has about 450 rounds through it. I'm just curious if it's common to be that snug and if I should use...
Good afternoon, I have a Springfield Defender 1911 45 ACP. I have been unable to remove the extractor. It field strips easy enough and I have had...
Since I don't own, nor have I shot, a 686 I vote for the GP100 6". I do own a GP 5" and after having done some trigger, shims and polishing work...
Sorry for your friend's loss. I would love to have that fine looking piece. If your friend is a shooter he should get that handcuff off it and...
I also put the Apex kit in my 642. It was my first "gunsmithing" job and probably took 4xs as long as it should have, getting the rebound spring...
I like the recoil absorption of the original full rubber grips, but found myself re-adjusting my grip due to the finger grooves. I got the old...
When NJ went to 10 round mags, no grandfathering, I called CZ for 10 round springs for my 14 round mags so I could convert them. I tried ordering...
When I got my 96A1 in 2013 it came with the standard 1 yr. warranty. They gave the option for another 2 yrs. if you registered it with them. Other...
Squibs? (Couldn't help it) A very nice gesture to offer them Adam.
In my neck of the woods gun shops are few and far between, and were charging pandemic prices many years prior (excepting the occasional sale). I...
Have never seen such a thing, but then again I live in NJ so there's that.
