Back from the Mothership

| No Comments
I sent my Rock Island Armory Tactical back to Armscorp for some warranty work. The hiccups I mentioned in my original entry never went away.

Hiccups:

  • Occasionally will feed without the extractor hooked on the shell case.
  • The first round would jam on the feed ramp if the magazine was loaded to 8 rounds.

I messed around with different recoil springs, and magazines with various results. Nothing totally cured it, so I called up Armscorp and they said to send it back.

I got it back today, and needed blog fodder, so here's some pics.

Arnel polished the feedramp and chamber throat nicely as you can see.

The breech face was smoothed up, and there as rounding done to the slide. The extractor was tuned, and cut for reliability. Also they replaced the barrel and link.

I'll be taking it out the range on Saturday to test it out.
