I hit the book and studied some.Using the frame,slide stop,and bbl,I ended up just stoning the radius at the base of the barrel lug,slightly improving the corner break on the frame bridge.The barrel sits down in the frame bed.

So,I have abandoned my initial plan.I stoned about a .002 or .003 corner break on all the locking lug edges,just a minimal corner break.

Back togetherI now have a slight bbl to slide clearance visible.Its probably only .003 to .005,but at least no drag.

Now I think I can shoot it a bit,see what happens.
