Vertical Impact Surface~! Can I get some Input Please.

Where should I begin on this. Link, Barrel fit, stated that only 200 rounds had been fired, and I tested with only one magazine... A little direction as to where to begin would be greatly appreciated. It shows no wear on the lower barrel legs, but a significant amount of scuffing on upper lugs of the barrel. The Vis cut is very very shallow.

Found this article reading it now. Wondering if there isn't something to the slight chamfer cut at the top of the bowtie on the vertical impact surface. This appears to be the only place where the barrel is hitting significantly..

 

Thanks Greg, I was just reading a post from Bob Rodgers talking about that very thing. You can see the radius where the lugs meet the barrel, and can see the marks in the lugs from the vis cut, so if I chamfer the top of the barrel bed back so.e it should engage without maring that surface any further correct?

 

Gun is like 3rd hand now.So doubtful they'd warranty it.

 

The barrel bed yes. And check the vis cut for proper depth, its near non existent.

 

Had no real reason to expect issues out of a 2017 gun with 200 rounds fired. I found it, would think thats the main thing, and not a real difficult fix, and not all that uncommon it seems. The work would if been done anyway considering what the gun is being purposed for. I test fired before work began and didnt notice anythi,g out of the norm as its provs ly done at the point its at,

 

You are Correct yes sir, thanks for that.. seriously still learning.. Talk to others about this very thing often. I do need to go over with a fine tooth comb first. Especially since I am realizing that there is no gun immune to veing sickly. Even top notch manufacturers make mistakes. And the inconsistencies are astounding sometimes.

 

Both areas, the top of the barrel bed is taking a beating, and the face of the VIS at the bow tie., and I did see a few small marking from the bottom of the barrel legs at the bottom of the vis cut, the cut is very faint, and the bow tie area created by that initial cut is nearly mashed down to the vis cut. There is .0125 clearance on the top of the barrel to the roof of the slide.

 

Yes there is a fair amount of clearance.

 

I was just about to delve into timing tests by Shueman I started earlier and was at one point thinking wrong barrel link?
