Seems you have two keepers there! pv
Most excellent news, Brett! Once I get my lefty grips, maybe I can shoot mine as well as you shoot yours. That grip plan sounds great. Keep us informed of the progress.
First the Russians infiltrate the NRA and now GTA. Yicks... Nice, where did you acquire it from?-Y
Welcome to the club Brett!! Really happy for you.The grips are supplied with the intention that the owner should modify them to suit their taste. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Dime-size groups are outstanding fir the first time, and single-handed!! Nice shootin' there Tex.Russians in the GTA aren't infiltrators. They're invited!Curious as to what other little niggly things bother you for $500. I think it's still a great deal considering the quality and ability of a 46M.
Hi Brett,Your 46M breech is locked closed in the picture above. Apparently the seals tend to take a set, if you store it that way. But you probably know that.I have shot a few hundred pellets from my 49M that I bought a few weeks ago. Tonight, I finally shot two cleaning pellets through it. They came out pristine. This barrel looks just as bright as it did on day one; and lead simply does not build up in it. I had been thinking of fire lapping it, but based on the way it shoots and stays clean, I see no need to improve it.So, I am curious as to how you polished your pistol's barrel, and why you felt the need to do it?
front sight holder/weight that actually holds the blade is crooked/rotated slightly counterclockwise when viewed from behind the gun. It should be a simple fix, I haven’t taken it off yet to see if there is a flat on the bottom of the barrel or a guide hole or what. Maybe it was tightened “off” at the factory and the set screw has embedded into the metal and so it wants to keep setting into the same place.
The rear sight blade is held on by means of "reverse screws"; meaning turning clockwise to loosen. It is not a left handed thread. Rather, the head of the screw, holding the sight blade is also the "tip" of the screw (away from the screw driver slot). So, whatever you do, do not force these tiny screws anti-clockwise till they let go; because their slots will probably let go first.
sticking some wood (or rubber) to the front strap to be make it "fatter" will definitely help stabilize the pistol in my hand. When I saw that Dennis had done something like this, I thought "nuts". But now I see his point.
Anyway, the dimple in the barrel won't allow the sight base to be rotated.
so that the hand “not worthy” itself into the grip.
Thanks Dennis,Quoteso that the hand “not worthy” itself into the grip. That "not worthy" is the software trying to shield us from the effects of a vacuum. Hilarious
