I did a bit of filing & stoning on the safety surfaces; also stoned the sear engagement surfaces. They were pretty rough...I have it functioning correctly now. Still has an awful trigger pull; I'll work on that next.

ETA: "Slick" posted the fix for the safety in this thread...

I punched out the magazine disconnect, I loathe those things. Pic attached if you feel the urge as well... :thumbup:

Check out this sight alignment... :rolleyes:

The top of the barrel at the muzzle is .175" below the top plane of the slide...The barrel hood [at breech] is .040" below the top plane of the slide...and the rear sight is .280" above the top plane of the slide... :eek:

That's some locking lug engagement!!! :D

I also measured the trigger pull with my spring gage...It was a bit over 9 #... :)

Excellent work! Before you know you'll have it functioning better than the Soviets ever had!

Thank you for the info on the magazine disconnect. Next chance I get I will knock that out of there on mine!

If you want additional mags Wideners are selling factory made ones still sealed in oil for $25 each!

I had already ordered a pair of used magazines from AIM Surplus before you posted that...They came in today. Serviceable, and with a certain 'ambiance' that only well used magazines have... ;)

(Actually, one looks almost new and the other isn't all that bad...Plus they were cheaper...) :D
