This one seems to have a nice finish and the seller told me the barrel was like new. Now to order dies, new springs, and start picking up .357 sig brass at the range!
Hi,

Using .357 Sig brass will ball-up your extractor, as it is too wide in the rim!!!

Either use brass marked for the 8mm Nambu, or have your extractor modified to take the Sig brass.

If I can recall, I think there is a "Mr. Nambu" on the net who does these modifications.

The extractors on these pistols were not made of the highest quality metal to start off with, so beware!!!

You are correct in assuming that a new spring set is a must!!!

Enjoy your Nambu, as when they are properly tuned, they are very accurate shooters!!!
