WELL, I DID THE WHOLE SERIES. HERE'S THE REPORT:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">
take the upper assembly off. remove the sear bar and spring, and the reinstall the assembled toggle. It should be a SMOOTH fit
YES, VERY SMOOTH.
Test fire... Work without jamming?
JAMS.
Next issue locking open on the last shot.
With the upper half and the magazine removed, remove the right grip and insert the magazine... does the follower button engage the holdopen with sufficient force to push it up?
NO PROBLEM THERE. HOLDOPEN WORKS FINE.
If everything is clean and lubricated, then load one round into the magazine and fire it. Holdopen work?
NO. HOLDOPEN WILL NOT WORK NOW.
Then either the ammo is too soft on recoil (change ammo- try Winchester 115 gr. ball ammo available at most Wal-marts for about $11.00 a box).
TRIED THIS AMMO. NO, IT DOES NOT WORK.
Still not working? probably an inadequate magazine spring.
MAG SPRING SHOULDN'T EFFECT DISTANCE THE BOLT RECOILS. I'LL TRY HARDER-RECOILING AMMO TO INCREASE BOLT TRAVEL AND HARDER MAG SPRING FOR THE AMMO FEED.
let us know what happens.
WILDO. A REALLY ODD DEAL, REALLY. THE CONDITION OF THIS PISTOL IS EXCELLENT, AND FIT OF PARTS APPEARS EXCELLENT AS WELL. WHY IT WON'T COMPLY IS A MYSTERY. <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF A WEAKER MAINSPRING WOULD DO THE TRICK...
