[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3033491, member: 10465"] So; after further review, and thinking back to all the crap I've broken and ruined over the years by doing it the Marine Corps way, I decided to just be cool and think it through rather than beating it with a 8 lb. sledge. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170915/3673df343632efd855eecfdb6a9ff0ec.jpg[/IMG] So I thought about it. I put the safety in the frame; then, stuck a piece of a long, straight piece of a thin metal rod in from the aft end of the extractor, measuring carefully to the back of the rounded extractor hole. Then I compared that to my spring and plunger set up. The parts were a bit longer but compressed, my trained eye said "It will fit". So I de-greased my mitts and worked at it carefully and then...SNICK! Everything clicked in place! Yes! I did it. Function check: Took it to the Range and put 100 rounds of FMJ and 25 of Hornady Critical Defense through it and it was perfect. She ran great and has earned her spot in my safe and as my dress pistol. I'm a happy camper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
