Tuner: As we discussed in my previous thread, I have a Les Baer Premier II that was giving me brass kisses pretty frequently. I replaced the recoil spring with a 16 1/2 LB variable, removed the shock buff, and cleaned everything real good.
Well, last night I finally got to take it back to the range. I put 100 rds. of Winchester white box thru her, and it seems to be much better. I think maybe I got 2 or 3, but am not sure if they came directly back or richoched off of the partition next to me. I examined the spent cases closely (of those I could find) and saw no marks on most. I did find one that was creased about 2/3 of the way down the case mouth. I'm about 90% sure it was mine. I really need to get to the club which has an outdoor range and try it again. I did have 1 FTE, but out of 300 rds. total so far, I don't consider this to be a catastrophe.
I will probably send it back to LB at some point anyway, to have a Tritium front sight installed and be refinished. Thinking of having them hardchrome the lower and re-blue the upper. That two tone look is starting to grow on me. I would like to put another 400-500 rounds thru her first just to see if any other issues might crop up.
Thanks,
Greg
