I apologize for asking my question, because I know I've seen this covered in a recent thread. I just can't seem to find it.
I recently purchased a used Mil-spec Springfield govt. model. All in all, I'm very pleased with the pistol, but I would like to improve the barrel lockup. Currently there is too much play.
A friend of mine suggested that we try a longer link, but in the post I referenced above, many of you said it was not a recommended approach. If my memory is correct, the alternative was to install a NM barrel. Can anyone point me back to the original post, or explain why a longer link is a bad idea? Is there a less expensive option than installing a NM barrel?
I really appreciate your help.
