[QUOTE="B96brig4CC, post: 919084, member: 7661"] Everything was seated correctly. I did however find that the front of the hood was wedging itself against the underside of the slide causing it first to not rack all the way back to the lock and second to stick once slide back. I compared the profile of the stock 40 barrel and the new 9mm conversion and you could see i slight (.5mm) difference in the slope of the front of the hood. I milled it down and polished it, fixing the problem. It now functions properly and contacts the underside of the slide just as it is intended to. It cycles ammo properly, locks properly, and all in all seems to operate correctly. I will take it to the range today and test it to make sure that under operation it functions as it should, otherwise I will have to let Mike play with it. [/QUOTE]
