Gentlemen, thank you..
Holeshot until you mentioned it I had forgotten about those impact type drivers. Haven’t used one in yrs but seem to recall they do work well..I’ll have to check those out as I don’t have one.
No real surprise that others have used the technique utilizing a mill or a drill press as it seems it would be very effective. As w/most things related to gun work, rigidity is everything and I suspect the set up will offer a nice degree of control as well.
Brian you’re right about the possibility of a tip breaking. The Brownells tips seem to be about as good as they get so far as I’m aware..I’ve only bent thinner ones..but the point is, they bent. A shattered tip could do very bad things, instead of applying constant downward pressure I think it may be better to lock the spindle in place while keeping an eye on it…good call on that. I had to grind the tips width down a little but it was ground at low speed generating virtually no heat.
Greg, thanks for sharing the message from the other board
The problem w/the gun..
when I close the gun there is an audible (and annoying) ring coming through what seemed to be the locking lever. Although it may sound petty it really bugs me as it’s not what I’ve come to expect out of a well made gun & this one is a keeper.
I’m only speculating on what the problem is b/c I’ve not had the gun taken down to verify.
Once I removed the trigger guard I took notice that the underside tang screw was not very tight…tapping on the end of the tang sure enough causes the harmonic. I tightened it down a bit and it never went solid..didn’t want to over tighten but gave it a little more while eyeing the topside where as you know the screw is exposed. It begins to protrude above flush as I tighten and also wants to draw the upper tang down a bit. Appears to me a little bedding is in order..
