Sorry to bring that up, I thought it might have been resolved. I don't have that much experience with hardcoat, but I wouldn't have thought it possible that it would chip off like that.

Nice one on the 100% function. I'm still hanging on to that myself with my 1911. Got about 600 rounds through it so far and still no jams.

Hey it's no problem Tom. I would never have thought it possible either. It is what it is. But I guarantee you, I'll be using a different anodizing company from now on.

I'm not all that worried about it anyway because this thing will be used as a plinker and for training junior shooters before they move up into a center fire rifle. It's going to get banged up and scratched anyway. If it start to get too ugly, there's always Cerakote....

I'm just pickled tink that it runs without stoppages - because these rimfire conversions can be a real headache in that area. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!
