I received the gun today. The broken shaft of the previous lever was still in the gun.
Strange thing about this particular gun. It doesn't want to take down very easily. I need to have the hammer all the way forward against the firing pin in order for the slide to clear the sear. (I think that's the problem)
Nevertheless it's in good shape on the outside.
I didn't get this gun for a great deal.
After transfer fee it was $615 and I got the right side slide stop lever shipped to me for $44. So all-in for $659 for a 14 year old gun.
But it's a Pre-B! I feel like that really only makes a difference if you modify it. The trigger isn't great at the moment.
Issues or notables.
1. Broken right slide stop lever (missing). Fixed it.
2. The trigger bar support spring on one side was not riding in the trigger bar. Fixed it.
3. The sight was drifted too far to the left. I centered it.
4. The barrel is very loose in the bushing. I may need to get the CGW 10X or perhaps a new barrel. I don't even know how to tell if that's necessary.
5. The trigger does not have pre-travel threading. It is also missing the overtravel set screw
6. The right side safety red paint looks like it was done by a 3 year old. Who misses a hole like that?
7. The previous owner scratched the finish a tiny bit where the right side lever should be. Not a big deal.
I drilled the hole for the right side lever without a drill press. You do need to go past the slide stop lever spring and into the "flat" part of the frame because the shaft of the right-side lever does go in that far.
I turned out as perfect as I could have imagined. I don't want to do a writeup on it. I don't think other people would have the same luck as me. I used a combination of stepped drill bit and normal drill bit. No pilot. No drill press.
