Here's one for Mr. Tuner: I'm wondering if this could be contributing to my somewhat frequent nose down FTF with LSWC heads.
I tried the link down test to check for link binding (recoil spring removed, slide back, barrel pushed down & to rear, slide stop inserted with arm hanging vertical).
The slide stop is binding...doesn't swing freely. But, on my 1911, it's not the link it's the barrel lugs that are binding the slide stop pin and making it teeter-totter on and off the frame. I can see 0.010" - 0.015" of the lugs when looking straight through the slide stop pin hole with the barrel in the furthest down and back position.
The lugs on this barrel had been welded up and recut. It is accurate, but it doesn't seem right. Am I worrying about nothing here, or does this need some kind of attention?
