My SX1 should be arriving any day now and I plan to use this thread to help me take it apart. Thanks for writing it up.

Great Post! is there a maintenance schedule by round count for commmon replacement parts?

rjk.

As far as I go I clean it after every shoot - sometimes a thourough deep clean and others just quick wipe and light oil.

Keep eye on buffer - if it looks quite worn just change it they are a cheap expendable item - otherwise you could change recoil spring every 2 years or 20k rounds which ever come's first - There are no hard and fast rules - provided it's clean and oiled regulary it will be fine.

Read through the post's on here for more info - There is a mine of info contributed by other owners - read those and you can't go wrong.

Happy shooting

Dave

How light a load can you shoot with Wrights rebound assembly.

I only ever shoot 28g - 1oz loads - so can't say for sure if you want to shoot lighter load that they will work.

I did start off putting Wright's magnum recoil springs in but over the years reverted back to normal ones. - Point being if you have magnum recoils spring in anything less than 28g might struggle to eject or load.

To be honest I never even tried to see what other loads it would handle but now with Beretta A300 I have tried 24g and 21g.

Texas Ton who loaded his own produced some very effective 24g load's which I did try when over there - If he hadn't have told me I wouldn't have known - He was fanatical with his gun and it was smoothest I have ever felt.

Not hard to tell what the Browning Gold 10's action was designed from?!!

Could someone update the pictures now that photobucket has changed

Thanks for the heads up on Photobucket - Thing is I handed this thread over to another UK shooter and it looks like he hasn't been on for a while - Due to my old fuzzy brain I can't remember his user name - I am going through my email addresses to see if I can find him.

If you know anything about Photobucket give me a clue to what I should be looking for so pictures show up - Have looked but couldn't see anything obvious - If I can find it and if I still have the pictures I will update but I am sure all pictures went to the other guy.

It's been quite a while since I dropped by on here.

PS - senior moment here - I use PictureTrail so these are pictures from the other UK member - sorry about that
