calling it a night...sweet CZdreams

It's not a barrel problem. I put a complete ignition system in it with a fully adjustable trigger, skeletonized firing pin and new springs. There is an issue that I need to straighten out. At first it wouldn't fire, now I've got it to fire, but the trigger is way to heavy. I can put a stock slide on the modified lower and it's perfect. I can put the modified slide on a stock lower and it works perfect.
The modified slider on the modified lower, and I have an issue. Just a minor issue.

Not yet.

I've put the old firing pin back in, it was dragging some, and I kind of suspected it. Old pin, same issue. It's fun to trouble shoot.

No, I found one today at BGF.

How much was it?

 

[KJQ6945]

How much was it?

Same as yours, only difference is the grips. This one appears to be walnut.

 

[KJQ6945]

You picking yours up tomorrow?

I was tempted but in changing my mind on the 2011 build I ran up the parts bill.......a lot.

 

[maansmit]

I don't need to have two of the exact same gun. I like to mix and match.
