Since were on the topic of Sharps & O-rings ................
I had the O-ring and sleave job done (with chromed plate) on my Pedresoli '59 model and found no great change. after 5-6 rounds it locks up. Action is smooth as glass until fired. on inspection, it appears that fouling is getting between the Gas plate & the block causing it to bind in the receiver frame. I can help this by filling the cavity with grease, allowing 10-12 rounds before tightening (and spraying hot grease on anyone nearby).
Am I wrong in thinking the only fix would be to have a solid block made ?
I have heard of others doing this with success.
It is frustrating becuse the gun is very accurate.
Any input from the experts would be helpfull. I have shelved the gun for now.
Thanks,
