The 45LC ran just fine with the new main spring, and surprisingly the sights were right on at 25 yards with the few rounds of ammo I had on hand. I think I loaded those for someone many years ago.
I dropped a Timney trigger in the AR which naturally fixed the going full auto issue, It came to me with an old BSA reflex sight that exhibited intermittent power failures when I was trying to zero the rifle. I need to do something about that, but may have to wait until I decide if I'm going to convert it to 6.5 Grendel.
The FN shot great with the PMC 40S&W I purchased. After a few rounds I was able to keep most shots within about 2 inches at 25 yards, unsupported. I had a very good day.
Had some issues with the 9mm barrel installed in the FN. It kept locking up, requiring a brass mallet to get into battery. At home I found my reloads have a base diameter of .388 to .391 and the chamber entrance measured as .390 using a caliper. As a comparison my FEG Hi-Power has a chamber of .396. I'll be replacing my 35 year old dies, and maybe getting the FN chamber opened up a little. Hornady critical defense drops in easily (.387 Dia) and my reloads a a light press fit.
