@Yondering yeah what company do you mill slides for?
Didn’t you say it was ok if the machinist encroached into the firing pin safety plunger just a couple months ago?
Who said I worked for any company? I don't do this for a business, I do it for myself, but have the qualifications and experience to know how to do it right as well as what matters and what doesn't. I certainly don't sell anything here or accept any work from forum members, so I'm not profiting by anything I'm saying here. I'm just a guy in the right position to see that some of what this industry is doing is purely marketing strategy.
Pompous nerdery is the guys who don't actually know anything about this stuff arguing a point based on what they've read online or heard on a podcast somewhere. What kind of arrogance does it take to convince yourself you know something about this, with zero experience or training in this field?
Not to mention - show me one example of a problem with an RMR slide milling that was caused by a lack of bosses? People have been milling slides for RMRs this way for over 10 years now, and when the slide is milled for a tight fit as oda175's was, there is no problem in retention or in returning to zero after battery replacements.
And no, I didn't say it was "OK" if a machinist broke into the plunger hole. If you actually read what I said, you'd know that. I said it wouldn't cause the malfunctions he was having, and if it did break through it wasn't a trashed slide.
I'm pretty sure from your responses that you don't know much more about this stuff than the other two, just like in that other thread. Stick to what you know, don't convince yourself you know more than your experience is worth.
