Maybe make sure there is not excess lubricant in the bore. Other than that contact the rifle maker to verify the chamber/headspace if it is a concern. I don't know what 7mm brass is suposed to look like.
PS. I don't see any primer flatening from the pictures. That's good. My AR15s and...
...kind of thing). I'm not convinced that the aftermarket kits solve all issues and once I cut the slide if I have any problems I can't uncut it.

Final observations after looking at this Officers recoil system for a long time with respect to plug and bushing failure and reducing the...
Nice job.I use a blue sharpie to mark up the firing pin stop. When you fit the stop the sharpie mark will come off where the contact is happening. That's where you stone the FPS lightly untill it fits. Better to have a snug fit. I have an officers model where the factory stop would sometimes...
I got the safe files and got it all done. Everything went well.
Boring the Crark plug deeper to make the "spring fit in it" during recoil was a little of a challenge with the Dremel and it is a tad uneven at the bottom.
I think the reduction in overall slide travel after doing all of the...
That's what I was worried about. I was thinking of fittinga wilson kit but if I cut the slide and it still gives me issues then I'll be out of luck big time.
I'm going to do what Greg did and see what I get.
Anyone know where I can get a safe edge file?
Greg,
You are awsome. Thanks for the tips. I think I can handle the action if I get a safe edge file and some stones for my dremel!
One more question. Can anyone recommend a cold blue or other way to refinish some of the parts that I filed etc? I have a matte finish....if there is a...
Greg,
How thinck is your flange on the Clark plug now? How much did you "deepen" the plug by and how much did you take off the guide rod? Thanks in advance. This was exactly the info I needed.
Greg,
That's exactly what I just discovered I need to do. Only problem is I have already taken the Clark plug collar down to 0.04 inch from 0.065 inch where it started but I don't have the tools to drill out the plug to eliminate spring stacking or to trim the guide rod.
I also have the...
Thanks Ed,
I can see where the material needs to come off the slide but is it only removed off the rounded section of the slide where the recoil plug fits?
Ed,
Why does that rod seem to screw apart? Can you also tell me how much material needs to be removed and from where? Is it simply filling straight across the back of the plug area?
Yeah,
I noticed that the Clark plug would stick out more from the front of the pistol if the slide is cut. Who else makes a reverse plug that I can use then if I don't use the Clark?
I recently tried a Clark reverse plug in an Officers ACP. It seemed to cause a lot of problems. Every other round the slide stop would engage and lock the gun open. The gun runs fine with stock parts.
I think it is a result of having less slide travel with the Crark plug installed...
That's cool. Did you come up with the idea for the small hole drilled in the full length rod that you use a small pin in for install and/or disassembly?
I'm pretty happy with the outcome of the kit. If you had a part to play in it thanks a lot!
EGW now has a full length guide rod kit for the officers ACP. I picked one up to see how it would work out.
The kit has a Clark reverse plug, a full length guide rod, and a flat spring. It is a fully-completely drop in kit. The kit fit very well in my Colt 1991A1 compact (same size as the...
