Tuner strikes again

...talking to the "pray'n'spray" crowd

If it causes the light to go on for a few, it was worth the heat and the effort.

Absolutely correct!! There are several readers on that site currently, and undoubtedly more to come in the future, who appreciate the detailed back'n'forth discussion that eventually eliminates the false trails...a great way to learn! It's a credit to Tuner's patience and ego strength that he can put up with the barbs of some name brand know-it-alls for the benefit of users who actually want to know how it works, rather than settle for a flippant answer as gospel simply because of who dispensed it.

ps...sort of reminds me of a discussion about headspace in this very space, about a year or two ago....

Site?????

Where is this site? I would also like to read the threads
Really like to read anything Tuner writes about 1911's, might even have to buy more ink and paper to print it.

Start down the list a little more than a screen with the thread titled...
Worn Breach Face On 1911 - Junk?
then note the conclusions in
Breech Face Wear - How To Fix It - Data Driven
then
So Why Is The Breach Face 89' 8" Travis
and up to date with...
The Angle Defined

Thread

It didn't start out to be a back and forth discussion, but it evolved into that...somehow. A member guy had a damaged breechface, and one of the top dawgs and a few others advised him to go at it with a file. I just thought I could save the guy some grief and and bucks by *tryin'* to point out the obvious. It kinda went south from there...

Makes me wanna quit doin' this, sometimes...

'Tuner. If you ever decide to stop this whole online "educate the masses" thing, I'll be glad to spend weekends at your place, allowing you do teach me everything you know so you don't feel so bad...

Still waiting on "Tuner's Guide to the 1911".

Self publish, 3 ring binder like Ed Brown did...easy.

Lot's of good photos.

$30-$50. Sell like hotcakes.

The Masses

Well, come on down Kirk. I think I'm gonna quit and write the book. I'm already typin' my fingers down to a nub. Might as well grab my 15 minutes of fame instead of hidin' out down here in front of a computer screen for nothin'.
There's ample information here to let everybody diagnose and fix 98% of their reliability issues...and it's only a search function away. I seem to be making enemies over what I do. Guess no good deed goes unpunished.

Tuner-------->Out!

re:

Oh yeah...Almost forgot. Probably time to let this one die. It's been fun, but
it seems to be making some people uncomfortable. They don't need to be concerned, though. I never reveal names...out of professional courtesy. It'd be nice to get the same in return, but I guess that's expecting too much.
