The 10,000 Round Tune-up and Why You Need It! Every automatic pistol is
made with manufacturing tolerances. Some, even old Colt pistols, are at
the extreme edge of allowable limits. While they may work reliably for
now, they may be causing themselves internal damage. After a large
number of rounds, the damage can become so extensive that it can ruin
the gun. The most common problem is the pounding out of the locking lugs
for the barrel to slide lock up. Another problem that can cause
considerable excitement on the firing line is a failure causing the
pistol to go full automatic. This problem can be caused by improperly
hardened parts or a poorly executed trigger job. Other problems include
a weakened extractor or an improperly timed firing pin safety. Of
course, the springs are weakened by extensive shooting and that can also
result in reduced reliability. Sincerely, |
