The trigger/hammer engagement and the hammer strut have to be polished. The parts showing the relationships Remember to measure any cutting that involves clearences. This is really important when polishing the sides of the hammer. Don't worry about the machine marks. Just remove the high spots. More later The terrible front sight The gun wrapped with first cuts made on front sight Changed grips Last edited by reflex264; 08/02/2013 12:36 PM.

Sorta funny but after all that work I am getting a 5" barrel stuck on after they get done looking at it. Here we go again. With some loads that 5" tube picks up nearly 100fps over the 4" gun. They had one barrel left and I got it. Under that sight it was simply silver soldered on the rib I cut it down to the solder except about 5/8" out from the newly formed post. When it gets back I am going to modify the sight on the 5" barrel. reflex264 "A quiet hit in the right place is better than a loud miss in the wrong place followed by 10 more shots on the run" I was a handgun hunter, when handgun wasn't cool.....
