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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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?

.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.

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...

New barrel?
Tuner
I am unable to find any used barrels. I am looking at Brownell's for replacement. I noticed some "drop-in barrels" listed. What kind of fitting could I be looking at if the "drop-in" is not so drop-in? Would you recommend the mil-spec for for $100 or should I spring for...

I have only fired 80 rounds since blending the throat. No binds.
Went to a local gun show Sunday. Could not find any new/used barrels. Couple guys did let me dry fit a couple of barrels from their guns. Both fit good. Even with my old eyes I could see...
