Full Barrel Fitting Part 1 - Barrel hood and Lower Lugs

[@smc4229]

Thanks. This is the first video that went through the calculations in detail, specifically the amount to take off the "right" part of the hood. Most videos just calculate the amount you remove from the first side of the hood and don't explain the second step

How come you don't have a video for cutting the lower foot with the cutter? When do you stop cutting, when the safety engages or when the back of the slide is even with the frame?
If you cut until the safety engages how do you match the slide to the frame as it sticks out the back?

Also my barrel hood came in perfect had to file down the feet for me to get the slide pin in but now it doesn’t drop down enough to rack the slide, what is missing? I know it’s hard to tell without seeing but hoping you may have an answer for me…

Could be contacting the back face of the barrel feet on the frame before the link can swing all the way out. Might dykem the back of the barrel feet and see if its hitting.

I am interested in one of your bushing mandrels. Are you still making them?

[@mp3z]

Hey boss, what slide is that and where’d you get it or did you have it milled?

[@montgomerymassotherapy6146]

Why do you divide by 2?

[@smc4229]

The divide by two is the naive example, that assumes the barrel hood is equally wide on both sides, which in real life it isn't
