as other posts mention here that it does not matter how large your collection is, that is a true fact when it comes to the 1919. i must be humble and admit--i am a newbee to this one--but never had so much fun before!
maybe someone can give me some insight. i have an izzy semi a4 and the only way that i can headspace is by pulling everything appart in order to turn the barrel. it is virtually impossible to rotate the barrel with the gun assembled. the tutorial says that i can simply rotate by clicks. in my case, the barrel lock that resides in the bbl extension and lays in the lineal groves in the barrel which maintain the headspace adjustmentwill in no way allow the barrel to be rotated. therefore i must take the barrel lock(if this is the right term) out of the barrel extension, reassemble the gun, headspace, then mark the barrel with a sharpie to make sure that i i do not accidentally rotate the barrel when i pull it all apart again to reinstall the "barrel lock". this becomes a real pain but always needs to be done when i switch ammo brands or lots.
it seems that there should be some sort of shoe to ride in the detents or groves of the barrel however, there is not enough clearance between the barrel and the side to allow me to even pry the lock away from the groves far enough as it is. i really appreciate any help here bernie
