Heh, thanks. There are thousands of books out there written by folks much more qualified than myself. I merely have a deep appreciation for the art and science of the firearm, and a sincere desire to help those interested in that which I appreciate.

Like I said, give it a good looking over. Perhaps you can figure it out yourself, or at least come up with a consistent issue. That is half the fight in an accuracy concern.

Oh, and there does come a time when you just get rid of the beast. Mitchell Arms had a 1911 knockoff called the Gold Series a few years back. Spiffy looking thing in stainless, checkered backstrap, long trigger, beavertailed grip safety, tight bushing tolerances, scalloped ejection port, ramped barrel, etc. All the bells and whistles you could want in a normal shooter.

It shot like ass.

I couldn't get through a full magazine without a jam regardless of ammo. I ran 230gr military ball through it (the easiest thing for a gun to load) and still got jams, stovepipes, etc. It wasn't just one problem, it was a whole host. It printed all over the place too, when it actually shot. Luckily, it was so pretty that I managed to get back all but the tax I paid on it. Sometimes you jusy have to cut your losses.
