Over the past few months I have been trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. So far so good. I have tightened the slide to frame, smoothed the action and a few other little bits. So far the gun has gone from 12" groups at 15 yards to about five. Still not stellar, but it is getting there.
I am planning on replacing the existing barrel and bushing. I have read the books on this, bit there is nothing like real experience. My concerning is how to check and adjust the lockup. Can some one give me a little advise on the fitting of the lockup?
BTW, this is an older Llama 1911 Especial in 38 Super. It is one of the good ones where the metal is not all soft and squishy.
Thanks!
