Does anyone know if it's still possible to get the modified restrictors for the p360s? |
| JODY:
What kind of restrictor are you referring to? The p360s come standard with a round restrictor. |

Kowal is still active on this forum; maybe you can talk him into making you some. :dunno I had mine made custom by a machine shop: --- Quote ---Kowal's mod is a replacement actuator that is a simple cylinder of length 0.678", inside diameter 0.375", and outside diameter 0.541" (= 13.7 mm), made to +/- 0.001" tolerance . I had mine made of stainless steel, and I blackened the outsides with a black sharpie pen. --- End quote --- Machine shops vary quite a bit in how they charge for small orders. There will be an extra charge for tolerances to one thousandth of an inch. Cost-per-piece should go down very quickly as the number of pieces goes up. |

I've read your posts on the actuators, and the information is valuable. |
