Would anybody else buy this? Tooth & Nail get in here


Recommended Posts

I love my 1919 but one little quirk I have is the crappy fore-end retainer cap. I can't get it tight enough without using a channel lock plier & a rag to try and keep from marring the cap itself.

 

I'd like to see a replacement with a hex head or octagonal just something that I could grip better or even get a wrench on.

 

 

Anybody else make this same gripe or am I just that guy out in left field again? what.gif

You missed the point I was trying to make. I'd like to be able to tighten it with a wrench instead of a pliers. A set screw isn't needed because it doesn't work loose once it's tight enough.

We will be offering some replacements around mid April.

guide rod, nut or both?

I'd say BOTH , looking for a good nut/thumb wheel , whatever you want to call it, that will both hold tight , yet easily removable. Preferably WITHOUT tools.

 

Somebody finds something that we end up using, it will be good for a FREE guide rod replacementmoney.gif

We're looking at a couple options still need to do some testing though , now GET TO WORKhaha.gif

T&N, if you build a better cap situation, I'll buy it. Maybe one with four crossholes that would accommodate a modestly-sized screw driver. If sturdy metal that didn't get chewed up whenever the screwdriver was tightening it up was used to make the cap, I'd buy one.

Firebird retention nuts are tightened with a 3/4 wrench, but they only work on our op rods not the factory ones.

 

Does your new billet lower require one of your guide rods?

 

The guide rod attaches to the upper, so no our lower does not require our guide rod.

These would be nice, but maybe a bit pricey

I would think something more like this.

It would be a huge improvement over the factory nut.
