well mike, not to beat a dead horse, but if you read doubletroubles original post that started this thread, it sure sounds like his gun worked fine before he sent it off to have the receiver recolored...otherwise, why would he even post his problem here, in the context of having the receiver recolored?
it is nice though, to see you are back on topic.
a lesson we should all learn from this is that, in an effort to make our guns look better, we some times run the risk of making them non functional and dangerous...maybe the best course is to leave erm as they are and only fix erm when they are broke?
