Old School I quess I am just old school. When hunting in extremely cold enviroments, I always degreased/de-oiled the action and any other moving parts. Never had a malfunction. BTW, acetone or equivilent will work on the degreasing. Homer

Thanks for the info. Tuner as always you have a solid answer. BTW how did the horizontal play look? Homer

Tuner Horizontal play is about .007". Measured with slide off frame. Starts with about .008" gap between hood and breach. Slide barrel forward and I get .015". Have not had a chance to check go/no go yet. Question: What regulates the fit/position of slide to frame? With my old...

crazed_ss No Compromise is an animal liberationist organization. As such I would be highly suspect of anything they list as fact. I have heard Ted speak a number of times and do not ever recall him using the N word. Homer

Did fire about a box with the new barrel. Checked the slide and barrel and there appears to be some wear on the blueing on the 2nd barrel lug. Have not checked it with go/no go gauge...gotta get with my buddy on that. Left the gun at work, so I will have to check horizontal play this weekend...

Tuner I can have that effect on people.....:) Measurement of barrel was using Vernier calipers OD jaws. From face of hood to front face of lugs. Measurement of slide was using ID jaws of calipers. From breech face to rear side of lug. Slide Barrel 1st lug...

Tuner Lacking an adjustable fixture, I measured the slide/barrel by eye....with calipers of course. I am assuming the first lug is the one closest to the muzzle? I belive this setup might be bearing on the second/middle lug by .002. Do you feel that this is excessive? Homer

Saltydog....I believe it might be illegal in all fifty states. Appears NorColt it mated just fine and working great.

Tuner .012 to .013. .044 diff ave. Can you explain how to gauge the slide and barrel? All else appears to be good.. Thanks again for the advice and solid help. Homer

Tuner Tuner Compared old to new barrel. Old barrel has lower lug mounted about a 1/32 more forward on the barrel than the new one. Old barrel slightly overhung fedd ramp. New barrel sits about 1/32 forward of feed ramp. Checked barrel in slide. Gap between hood and breech is slight but...

FAST Ulflyer left PM. Got barrel today in the mail. I am working all weekend tho and haven't had a chance to try the fit yet. I do believe that is the fastest I have every gotten anything before through the PO. Thanks for the quick response my friend. Tuner, will let ya know if I have...
