Wilton bullet question...

[ganymede]

I noticed that the back piece moves a bit when the slide moves out.
I checked to see how big the gap is between the body and the end piece and a 2 1/2 thousandths feeler gage will just about fit.
How is everyone else's ??
Can you move it or is yours tight.?

 

[Mr. Brooks]

Seems like the side pins could be worn a bit. I replaced mine with tight fitting roll pins

I see them moving a bit but not too bad..

 

[Mr. Brooks]

Betting the play is in the holes in the main vise body.

Honestly not worth it unless you plan on a complete resto.

I may degrease it and blast some paint on but that's about it.
Thanks mr Brooks !
