his weeks lesson was how to disassemble and reassemble (and more).
During my initial reassembly, I had bent the sear spring.pretty bad. I ordered a new one and it arrived yesterday. This evening after work I began the wonderful task of getting it all back together properly. I watch the AGI video that talked about a temporary pin and I wasted an hour driving to Lowe's to find a nail I could cut down.
In the end, I found a cut 1-tip worked best. I was the exact diameter, strong enough to hold every thing, and pliable enough to allow some manhandling. It was nice to see it all come together and function as intended. Also any 'gritty' feeling is completely gone. the Single action is surprisingly smooth and breaks with nary a notice. The double action, while a tad long for my stubby fingers, has sufficient touch/feel. and rolls of nicely. Since I was ordering 'pawts' [my Boston accent], the rubber grips are a pleasant replacement for the original plastic.
Feeling good, I also found that installing my Dawson FO front sight went better than expected. The removal was exactly as described and I lucked out that the relief aligned perfectly with the pin hole. A little 220 grit sanding, used the included plastic punch, tap in the pin with a 1/16 punch, bingo-bango-bong sight installed. No drilling!!!! The sight looks great and tomorrow we'll see how POI,
The rear adjustable sight is still in it packaging. So tomorrow is a big day.
Add that to my new steel targets and weekends are now going to be Great!!!!
If all goes well, I may start running my matches with this gun as early as next week. I do recall either czcustom or Cajun can set the DA trigger back 5mm. I may go with this but, I do wonder how long I'd be without my gun. I'm just starting to feel good with it and I hate to lose my practice time for months upon months.
