The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I read a post by saands about working a feed ramp to better accept hp feed. I don't know if mine is doing the same thing or not. My 68 will jam (not all ways) with the shell at about a 45 degree angle. I was at the range and one stuck bad enough I had to pry it out very gently. Do you think I have the same problem you corrected or do you think I have a totaly different problem? If anyone knows something please feel free to jump in!!

It might help if you gave the make & weight of bullet

NORM

Norm, it is a silver bear 95 gr.

Also I have an 18# trigger spring and a 20# recoil spring, I figured ya might need that too. I would think it would matter anyway in mho.

blinddog
will thats good ammo

I would go ahead and polish it
couldn't hurt
there was a nice post on this subject with some real nice pix can't remember who posted it think it might have been Space or tunnelrat

NORM

Thanks Norm, I figured I would have to polish the entire chamber to make a reliable feed along with the ramp etc. Just was'nt sure that was the whole problem.

blinddog
just the ramp not the chamber

NORM

I know this is not a P-64 a but it should about the same

Thanks Norm, thanks for that link. I think I'm going to give it a try this week end. BTW I got lucky and picked up a 73 P-64 today. Ain't it great!!

blinddog
life is good
need pix

NORM

Here is a pic. On the left is 1976. On the right is 1968. A little fuzzy, but you can see the ramp, the feed difference.

blinddog
there is a big difference

at the beginning of the chamber I think I grid off that ledge not going into the chamber if at all possible

NORM

OK Norm, I just wanted you to see it. I think if I take care and time I can do it. Once again, thanks a bunch.

blinddog

To bad you are not local I'd do it for you

NORM

Yep ... that is what mine looked like ... I'm a little surprised that it feeds JHP's at all! I think that this is the best reason to have two of these fine little gems!

Good luck and go slow ... remember you can always go back and take more metal off, but it is really difficult to add metal back!!!!
