An up date on the 38 Special M1911 project.
I have the barrel fitted to the gun and one magazine modified.
With dummy rounds, it will not feed the last two rounds in the magazine reliably. I seated several bullets quickly in cases and probably not deep enough to get the case to be crimped over the end of the bullet. I need to redo them.
I need to load some ammunition with the cases crimped over the end of the bullet before I can try it live. If it stops raining some, I may get to try the gun out over the weekend.
If I cannot get my modified 38 Super magazine to work, I may have to wait until I get the Triple K 38 Special magazines that are on back order.
I'll have more pictures after I shoot some targets.
