farmerjohn, glad to see your still around. TARGSHOOT will do you right with the screw you need. He's great to deal with. How did your buddy like the 1919 you built for him at Brian's last year? I was impressed with Ryan's engraving he did for you. Are you still in TX.? Michigan property is cheaper than ever at the moment if your still thinking about moving here. Would be glad to have you as a neighbor anytime. (I was next to you at last years build party, I had the Rock Island 1919) Again, good to see your still active with the Brownings!

I'm back

Ya its been awhile, graduate from nursing school May 8th. I'm still out here just been real busy with school. Going to start work at a 55 bed ER here in Dallas while I still finish off my last year at American Airlines, unless they will buy me out. Missed the Indy build, wanted to go. Would have to get another 1919A4 pass TSA at the airport. Heard a little about the side plates and all, still don't understand if you do or don't have to have a 80% or 100% plate. What happens to all the 80%'s that are out there and can you still build a gun with them, what happens to the guns that were built with 80% plates? Still looking for land, haven't found that special place yet. I will have to get up to UP and see whats up there now that I'm out of school.
Thanks for yelling at me,
ja

I'm guessing that probably refers to the angle of the head on the screw. It's almost flat - just a slight taper, as apposed to 60 degree heads, since the shroud is relatively thin material wise...it allows more surface area of the head on the material...

hank,
the counter sink is the angle of the screw seat. instead of it being flat under the screw head, it is tapered to fit the appropriate counter sink that is being screwed into. if the angles are correct then you have a mating surface with alot of seating area and holding strength.

Hmmmm....I thought that was what I said :)

Oh well....all in the presentation :D

I you do a search in Google for "82/90 countersink", you'll find a ton of info on different bits and tools available, along with explanations on the characteristics of each degree of countersink.
