Sorry but you're most likely the culprit. This generally happens when one relaxes the wrist at the moment the pistol goes bang (results generally in a hit 4inches above the intended point of impact). Been there, done that.

Sorry, but I'm aware of the occurrence and 'lock' my arms.

Hi Rich, Thanks! I think that is it? I'm having some extraction issues with drum mags?? Works fine with regular mags, flings the empties out! But shows every sign of a weak extractor spring with the drums?.... Smokestack and stovepipe jams? Not all the time, Very random?... Any thoughts guys? Two test units are byf 42 top halfs..... ... best to all, til...lat'r....GT
BTW, only way I could hold it any stiffer would be to weld my butt to the bench!!!!!!

I was thinking one arm shooting.

Gerry, that was from Gerben. I don't have a 'new' spring or I would try it. I hate wearing a hat indoors (thank you Gerben!).
