Howdy all
As I write this I am still grinning. After what seemed an endless uphill battle with my Cimarron .45 Colt Spencer ,it is now as it should have been from the start. When I got it back from it's 2month + vacation, back to Cimarron it was about 85% reliable feeding. After getting Tom at Accurate Molds to make me a custom mold I tested it with 7 dummy rounds a total of 6 times for 42 rds. The noses were getting a bit beat up but I only had one slight 'bobble' and it fed with just a tiny lever jiggle. Today I took it to the range with 'Tom's' bullet loaded cartridges. I ran 5 magazines full thru it without the slightest feeding problem. This was working the lever normally, working it semi slowly, hesitating at the bottom of the stroke etc. No matter how I worked it the feeding was flawless. Not needed was the "working a Spencer with authority, tipping it down to feed or up to eject, holding my mouth a certain way" or any other antics. It just worked like any other quality rifle. To say I am pleased would be an understatement.
I am going to try to attach a couple of pix but doubt I will be successful in that.
