Thanx for the try, fal308, I already knew gunparts didn't have a diagram. Since posting, I think I have more or less doped out its general operation. I still have a lot of work to do to reverse wear effects on internal parts, but I guess that is where the real challenge lies. That, I guess is what distinguishes hobby gunsmithing from the professional variety. By the time I get done I will probably have $500 to $1000 worth of my own labor in a machine which will by then be worth $250!
