The wait begins

Well,

As of today I sent the Springfield XD 40 off to the springfield custom shop to get a combat trigger job with internal over travel adjustment and to have the barrel refitted for match grade accuracy. They say two-four weeks. I miss it already.

[Capbyrd]

You are going to be pleased. I just picked up a 1911 Loaded that I plan to send off soon.

You know for 765 dollars you can turn that loaded into a trp. They even stamp trp on the slide etc.

**Upgrade your 2000 or newer Springfield “Loaded” model to TRP™ specifications for $765. (GI and Mil-Spec Models are not "Loaded")

Additional charge of $100 to add Springfield, Inc. 2-piece mag well, matched to bevel on frame.

That is what it says on the worksheet to send in.

One reason I knew about this is because my buddy has a loaded and I am going to get it when I have the money (he aint in no hurry) and when I do and get 765 dollars it will go to be a trp.

[Capbyrd]

I might do that down the road but I just want to get a couple of things done and I will be happy. Trigger job, install new trigger, carry bevel and maybe a refinish. Those come out a lot cheaper and will work for me until I can afford to drop that kinda dough on mods.

[Alpha7]

I hear ya. I was going to wait and have the barrel refitting done later or have a match grade barrel installed later but decided I didnt want to have to send it off again so I just killed two birds with one stone.

Why it went to iowa i have no clue

[Capbyrd]

Cedar Rapids is the closest large sort facility to Moline. Moline is basically in Iowa anyways as its right on the border.

[Alpha7]

oh arent john deeres made in moline?

[Alpha7]

I would assume geneso is near moline or a suburb of moline as that is where the gun was actually sent.
