Hi Ed, Don, and all! Well, at least it fits! So, we are ahead of the game already!!!! ....
.... The first ten, one of which you now have Ed, has every improvement both Don and I can think of! But, when we reassembled after re black oxide finishing, we didn't re-polish the inside? (Pre black oxide acid bath causes a little drag?)So, if you want 100% you might have to lock the main spring at full tight, take the cross bolt and cover screw out (not the one on the winding lever!!!!
) and polish every where the bullet touches with 320 Wet or Dry? And then re-lube!.... You can certainly try it as is, but better when polished... all drums from number 11 on have this done in-house, no matter how much extra labor....
...... You'll have to get used to doing this anyway, to lube the drum if your going to get serious about shooting it.... Thanks for taking the first step on these Ed, If you have any issues at all, I'm just an email away! (Actually, that applies for all who receive a GT marked drum!) .... Best to all, til...lat'r....GT...
