What was your final conclusion? Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see it.

My test is officially over. All four pistols reassembled and never to be disassembled concurrently again (probably, maybe).

Thanks to all for your engagement.

I like your box, toggle clamp keeps them in place I assume?

You should do a thread on it in the ”gear“ forum.

Well that’s because it started to go off on the FCD.

Yes. I didn’t make it—not that skilled.

It’s a special run wooden range case made years ago by Hogue for the Shot Show I think it was. Has a scope, etc. You’d appreciate the workmanship especially the finger joints.

I got it on eBay a number of years ago trying to complement my grandfather’s Gerstner tool box.

Don't be shy.....................................let's see a pic of that...........................those original Gerstner's are amazing.....!!
I see a little corner of it, and it must be in your loading room-------so not off topic for the police.........

Here you go. Don’t know how old it is but Papa was born in 1899 & retired in the 60s so it’s got some years on it.

And, yes, it’s in reloading room/gun room/work shop/car repair stuff/lawn mower maintenance/electronics stuff combination room so it meets the topic requirements of any forum you might want to join.

Gertsner has a restoration service for their old boxes and I was tempted but it’s only original once.

At the range this AM, I successfully shot three mags of my newly resized (downsized to .451”) Acmes through a formerly non-conforming Wilson.

Not that the outcome should’ve been in doubt but it’s always good to get validation.
