I'm starting to think that's the way to go. My brother is a gunsmith and has a slew of precision machining equipment and the skills to use it. I had dinner with my dad this evening and we discussed trading the slide pot with a more conventional precision unit, as you mentioned JimF... with a little luck, and a lot of work.. maybe we can find a solution. I plan on pulling the EA's this weekend, we'll start there.
