Re-assembly is difficult

[Michigunner]

RJ,

I would like to thank you for helping the current "Stop Stick" owners modify the tool to use for re-assembly.

I plan to drill the 5/32" hole and give it a try.

Thanks again,

Bill

I was about to modify my stopstick when I found an old toothbrush in my gun maintenance box.  It already had a hole in the handle so I just tweaked it a bit.  Then I cut the brush part off - that was dumb.  The brush is good for cleaning stuff.    Luckily, I generate a few used toothbrushes per year.

Sounds like a fine idea, Steve.

I've got plenty of toothbrushes.  They should be much easier to drill.

Thanks,

Bill

Dave, forget the pliers....  The New *Two in one* Tool I offer works  like a Champ.

  just picked up new pup sat. and thanks so much on tool, i'll be using tooth brush method one in slide, puch is allien wrench that fits grip screws, but my problem is when i put the slide back to the frame it stops at the ejector and not all the way back to meet flush with hammer, so when i pull back the slide to set barrel pin in , i have to move the slide back a greater distance and the recoil assembly  moves away from the barrell lug area and stops on the ?? ( i don't know)  while the guide protrudes being stopped this way i can put in barrel pin and then rack the slide  seems to work    is this normal, am i hurting the puppy ?

It is somewhat difficult to picture this problem but reassembly success is usually related to proper alignment of the recoil assembly, both horizontally and vertically, and pushing in the pin all the way. Those are the main two problem areas once you have inserted the assembly and the guide rod seats properly.

i guess the bottom line is right now , the pup is, racking just fine and spitting out snap caps. Took the pup apart to give it a bath before we went to the range. Think I'll do it again before we go out! thanks

Sounds good and welcome to the forum. As the guide rod smooths out from use it will seat much easier into the hole.

ss1.  Good to hear you now have your R9.  Sounds like you are doing everything in the right way.  Here's a video that may help.

It does get easier with time.

Johns tool defanitly helps!

Practice makes perfect, for sure.  Well, maybe not perfect.

I would be apprehensive about using a clamp myself.

I have not tried it, but it looks like the spring is getting ready to shoot across the room.
