CANIK FANATIK FORUM

I cast my lead bullets and buy my jacketed ones. I have noticed that Rotometals has raised their lead prices, (I was buying foundry lead and mixing it with soft lead to make Lyman #2), and not as many good hard lead deals on ebay. Clip on wheel weights are about a thing of the past now. Get em while...

Yep. I'm reloading 358-125-RF bullets. I tried them 358 and 357. Squeezed 357 with 3gr 700x or 5 grains of Longshot, oal 1.017. 45-45-10 lube. Longshot has the edge on the 700x but they both shoot great. Longshot having the softer recoil. I tried CFE with 4.8gr being the best for a group but not tha...

Smith & Wesson 59. It had a culvert for a barrel.

On lubing the firing pin. Use something dry like Otis dry lube if you decide to lube it, some don't like anything on the firing pin assembly. I forgot to mention that.

Thanks runeight! Makes it easier. I'm pretty much PC illiterate. lol

JP357, Canik TP9SFx Aftermarket Striker Spring by Frank the Tank on you tube. It was on the thread, ya disappeared.

I didn't notice anything bad the first time I tore mine down. And of course I was a little PO. But watching that video told me it was right there somewhere so I put the eagle eye on it and found the casting or whatever it was. I sanded that down plus shined and lubed up what I could with 400grit so ...

I didn't hear they might close, but I did hear they finally started catching crap for dropping Black Rifles.

Great shooting! Handloads? Neat target. Where can I find some?

I have a Rock Chucker I got over 30 yrs ago To load 308 and 357. You can't break it. It was slow but relaxing for me. Then I picked up a coupla semi auto pistols. So much for relaxation. Then the Piggyback came out. I kept my eye on it for some time thinking I should get it for the Rock Chucker. The...

I sanded 2 high spots on the small rectangle. Fully functional now.

Close enough!

Problem solved. I took the firing pin assembly back apart and took a closer look at the firing pin. When sliding the the pin back and forth in the slide it was sliding rough/gritty. At the end of the pin assembly by the pin itself were a coupla humps on the side . (slag?) I took some 400 grit wrappe...

Gotta go babysit the grand kids. I'll catch all y'all tomorrow

I cleaned and lubed the striker assembly. Nothing looks bad there. When I pull the slide back a little it still hangs up. Guide assembly is correct.

I'll take it apart and check the striker spring and striker.

Yep. I edited the last post sorry got behind.

I clean and lube after every shooting session. Dad always made me do it. LOL. I really like Hoppe's Gun Medic. I always need it for my waterfowl guns. Cleans weed seeds, mud and gunk right out. It keeps you in the blind. Yep it's expensive, but I always keep a can in my shooting bags. Referring the ...

Aha! After watching the video, I think this could be the problem. When I push the striker back it's not coming forward smooth. It may be hanging with the slide on. I'll order that spring and let ya know how it worked. Thanks!
