Did some slow hand cycling last night to check the extractor mostly. I had a couple of rounds hang up on the extractor so I pulled it and lightened up the tension as it was a bit tight. I also polished the tip/hook.
I was going to do the normal extractor tuning but I was surprised to find that the extractor was already setup with the correct bevel's as recommended here:

AO had it right on! Took her out today and put about 150 rounds through her.
She ran flawless with the exception of 2 slight stove pipes, I say slight because they were just barely hung up and I was able to just knock them out, didn't even have to rack the slide.
I blame the stove pipes on the new recoil spring. I changed out my recoil and firing pin springs with Wolff springs last night. I put a standard 16 pound recoil spring in and the Wolff supplied extra power firing pin spring.
I will have to say I am perplexed by the super stiff super heavy firing pin spring AO puts in these guns. The Wolff spring is supposed to be heavier than the stock spring but it is much much lighter than the stock spring.
Anyway, the gun is more accurate than I am, had good groupings and no complaints about the accuracy!
The empty casings ejected between 2 and 3 o'clock. With several hitting me in the head, pretty standard for a GI setup and nothing that bothers me in the least.
All in all a sweet gun!
