Awrite!!
back to the range -AGAIN- and this time.... all good stuff!
i ended up getting a used breech block, and after some minor filing, it fit just fine.
Went out this past sunday morning and put 200 rounds of federal 115gr through it: 0 extraction problems and 3 FTFs --no problem as far as i'm concerned!
Naturally i won't include all the other targets with the crappy shots i made, but here is a sheet from the end of the day, after i'd really become acclimated with the trigger.
These are all 1 hand, 45' with rests between shots. the dots are 3.5" dia. there's a couple damn good 5-shot groups on there! i'm very happy with the artillery, and i have fully released concerns about maintaining collectibility--screw it, now i can just shoot.
i think the pic is coming out sideways... i shot it right side up so impacts were landing a little left and low. i've since adjusted the front sight.
