Yeah I saw your response and had found your thread before that. That's definitely a route I might have to take but I leave next Tuesday. Not enough time for me to make a repair and then shoot it enough to trust it. A contact you when I get to that point and grab some tips.How long before you go? I responded to your Kimber thread a few days ago. Had the exact same problem with mine. You could have the Kimber up and running literally overnight. BTDT.
