I thought I had cracked the barrel around the feet but Rob said the barrel was fine, just marks from heavy use. He had a new Springer factory barrel that he fit and said it should provide better accuracy since its fitted. I wanted to keep the main components Springer since I carry this piece on duty.
I asked to clean up the action (which was a tool steel SACS job from 2009) as it broke at 5 lbs and wanted to be between 4.5 and 4.75. He told me SACS just dropped the parts.
My feed ramp was short.
I asked him to clean up the front strap above the checkering. I started it but got scared to go any further as I did not want to break through.
if you see this image, when my MCOP was freshly back from SACS (2009 ish), I requested a high front strap. I was told SACS did not square up the front strap above the checkering.
Some years later, I tried to square it up myself and stopped. I painted it with Aervoe but I guess not priming it, the paint peeled off. It's never rusted in the humid environment of south Tejas.
so this is what he did.
-Tune Extractor (Wilson BP extractor is still in good shape. It was MUCH too tight to allow the gun to feed like it should)
-Fit new S.A. Barrel w/EGW Link and O.S. Pin
-Polish all ignition parts (These were just installed out of the bag by Springfield. I stone polished every contact point)
-Bow Tie Cut Frame
-Cut feed ramp to proper depth and straightened (Springfield's have shallow feed ramps most of the time)
-More aggressive high cut
He sent the slide off for the Charyn plate machining.
