i thought i was going to do a pictorial on the EGW angle bore bushing install
but it was way to much to photo!
actually the bushing came pretty close to fitting right out of the package (give them the numbers and they bore it)
i had to give it a bit of fitting on the OD and i polished up the ID to make it feel smoother on the barrel.
i can take it apart with out a bushing wrench (which i refuse to have to use)
but it is a very tight fit
both ID and OD
but the part i had trouble with is the centerline of the slide bushing bore and the recoil spring plug bore were a bit to close together. whether its my slide (most likely) or the tolerances really stacked against me. i had to relieve the retaining notch in the bushing to get it to allow the plug face recess to fit.
but its fine now.
one thing i hadn't thought about was the fact that i have to field strip this thing like a FLGR now as the bushing wont index over the spring plug because of the retaining notch.
cant get to the range this week as its booked up with LEO training 12 hours/day all week. so next week to see if the groups tightened up any,i cant imagine they wont.
so here is what it looks like, yeah i know im weird, but i like it
