OK, a may be just a bit dense, but I've searched and searched the site for info on using swaging punches to peen slide rails necessary to correct side-to-slide play. Reluctantly, I open a new thread seeking your help.
I am attempting to tune up my faithful OM for windage accuracy after thousands and thousands of competition rounds (and wear). I have no desire to squeeze my precious nickel slide, as the two areas of wear (requiring peening) on the frame rails are quite obvious ... so obvious in fact, that even a dope like myself can make the careful corrections IF I knew how to use the single or double swaging punches. Vertical slide play is fine. The frame is made of a lighter-weight powder-coated steel alloy.
OK, fellow old-timers, kindly help me out. Thanks.
