Old School

Don't even think of using sand on brass. Too agressive. Radek- If you need bullets PM me and we'll work something out.

Absolutely right John! For this application hardly no one uses anything more agressive than Walnut media. Corn cob is softest then walnut. We are buying a relatively courser corn cob media. I expect it to polish shiney and break down slower than finer corn cob. Walnut cleans well but leaves the cases more satin in finish. The dryer sheet is a good trick and I do that myself. Some add a small amount of polish to the media as well. I just use a conditioner. Radek- Are you reloading yet?

I'm interested if you need another person to go in on corn cob. Let me know. OK we have four peeps that's 10 pounds each. I guess we're done This is closed unless some other folks want to split 40#. I'll pick it up but don't want more than 10# for myself.

When you disassemble it just remember to keep your thumb over the extractor spring so it doesn't fly. But you knew that! And no oil in the fireing pin channel. Good Luck we beat this one to death!

Thanks, I'll be watching.

Sounds good to me! Frame is the gun. Except on Ruger pistols MK I,II,III

OK I'll get to Grainger this week. This is a tougher one... Either of you guys ready for bulk bullets? I'm sitting on about 3000 9mm 115gr FMJ but need some 45ACP. Just don't know what I want to buy in 45. Also, I would do a bulk buy on powder and primers and we could splt the hazmat fees. Just some stuff to think about. But the media is a done deal!

I'm going to buy 40 pounds of corn cob media from Graingers. My tumbler only holds a couple of pounds. So if two or three folks need media I'll split it up and mail it to ya in a flat rate mail box. #40 is 23.60 plus tax so I guess to be safe if I ship it it'll be about $1/pd unless you want to meet me or pick it up at CR.

Wow Precision Delta is cheap. I buy Montana Gold and now feel like I get ripped! LOL Gotta get some next order.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. After bthe problem, a dealer with a massive amount of experience told me exactly why it happened before I mentioned the ultrasonic cleaner. I met with L&R out in Kearny and they verified it. Ultrasonic is fine when the item being cleaned is totally disassembled. While they push the field strip and dunk in their adds, it doesn't work that well. In fact the ultrasonicx caused more problems then it was worth. The gunk doesn't flow out the relief hole and jams the pin slightly forward causing the problem. As I witnessed it, the design is not foolproof. While your explanation might work well as far as the glock literature goes, it doesn't work in practice. In my opinion anyone relying on that method is foolish at best when it takes seconds to clean the firearm properly and completely. I wrote a long post in reply and lost it- Sorry! So just a one liner. "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian" If it don't rattle, take it apart and clean it.

That is far from true. One of the reasons we stopped using our ultrasonic cleaner was because of the Glock design. It lossen the dirt and trapped it. The result is a out of battery detonation. After several occured, a warning went out to area agencies. As always, visually check for an empty chamber after magazine removal.http://www.parts.cc/glock/disassembly/Slide1.htm http://rockhollywood.net/media/GlockDisassembly.pdf Removing the firing pin assembly takes a second. There is no reason no to do so and repires nothing more than a thin pin or punch. In fact everyone should look into the Lyman Punch/Hammer conbo.http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/GNS042-1.html It is a very usefull tool set for little money. rscalzo- Sorry but you are incorrect about the design. There is a debris hole under the firing pin channel for debris to fall out of. Now if this is successful 100% of the time is another issue. I'll review your links. But. if a fully assembled slide was being put in an ultrasonic bath where could the debris escape to if it was more than a debris hole could handle. Again I will review your links but it sounds like this deals with pretty grungy pistols that were just thrown in a ultrasonic bath. Respectly summited Agreed there is no repacement for actual cleaning.

If you don't clean it yourself or let me show you how to do it... I'll be mad at you. :shock:

Not giving 50% to NJGF! Matt seems desperate ... college kid, so he said Radek- go through Matt's stuff I'm sure that there's something you need for reloading. BTW how is your reloading going? All set-up and crank any out yet?

The GLOCK firing pin channel is designed to be self cleaning. That being said. If you make the pistol safe, magazine well and chamber, then pull the trigger. Then shake the pistol and you should be able to hear the firing pin rattle back and forth, forward and backward. This should prove a firing pin channel in a safe(clean) condition. If you must clean it, remove the firing pin and clean the channel with a pipe cleaner. NOT a bore brush.

Great meeting you guys. Glad everyone had a good time. That's the way it is supposed to be. PM me and I'll tell you how to tighten up the dovetail on the slide.

Ray- Only when it comes to XD's. I sleep next to a Kimber but she's my wife. Then I guess I sleep next to a diesel engine since my wife's name is Allison! Don't let the wife see that post!

Just messin' with you Ray about the unnatural thing. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583027,00.html GLOCK Perfection

Sounds good. I don't think I caught your name? The battery in my truck needs replaced so I'll bring my car seen here: http://thewellrats.com/malbor2/wrx/wrx.jpg Frank brown F150

Mark- I'll be at the pistol range 10am

Ray: There's something Very unnatural about you and XD's. You never worked for the UN searching out weapons of mass destruction, did you? :hope:

Not a problem, if he wants to come. I thought...uhm...Lrizzo?...wanted to go to. Just can't do 100 if someone wanted. As to trap machines...Dan has a decent(throws well, doesn't look like much) manual one, I have a crappy manual one but if you have an electric one, yeah, that'd be great. We can get clays at the range. Mark- Electric? Silly Guy! :? I'll throw one of the manuals in the back of the truck, no problem.

Kimber and I will be there fore sure. So if the ladies have to go to the powder room the two girl thing will be available. Should I bring a trap machine or two? I'll primarily be on the pistol range but I can lend a machine and may take a few rounds. If someone needs to be guested I can handle that but as per the rules they'll have to stick arround "boring me".

Seriously, you have no idea how glad I am to hear that. Good job! You have overcome the most common pitfalls. What were you shooting before you bought the G22?
