Great gun and a great read, thanks Brownie.

Thanks for the thoughts folks. It's off to a gunsmith for internals replacements. It'll be my sleep milspec on the outside with nub sights and a race car internally.

What internals are you gonna install? Inquiring minds want to know...

This sounds like an interesting project, since the base gun is fairly inexpensive....and I always want to want a new gun. :D

I left that to the one doing the work. He knows what's best, I'm just an end user. I'll find out and report back after I get it back with the parts listed as replaced.

I spoke with the gunsmith about listing who he was, he's in Fla and on this site.

RickMcC, might want to check with him on makers of parts and works he's doing for me. He's also going to bevel the extractor for more positive feeding. Should be a race car inside and look like a mutt on the outside.
