Before beadblasting my 629-6 i broke it down completely and when done put it all back together..... except the "Lock Arm". I did this on purpose because I thought... "I know when the gun is locked on a count a I can't pull the trigger!" <-- this is in no way safe at all I know It was just an experiment. I took it to the range and shot the following handloads. 100 of each.
Hornady 180XTP with 21.1 grains of Accurate#7 = 1600fps / 1023 ft-lb's
Hornady 240XTP with 21.3 grains of VIHT N-110 = 1400fps / 1044 ft-lb's
50 with the lock "On" and 50 with the lock "Off" 180 and the same with 240.
The interesting part is it fired just fine. It looks like the lock arm is what stops the whole gun from being locked. It would explain it's name but has anyone else done this?
Now... about my hand. I won't be shooting right handed for awhile so I guess it's time to practice off hand.
