No need Tom, if it assembles it has clearance. Simply stated, if a pin goes into a hole it has clearance. You cannot put a 1.0000 dia. pin in a 1.0000 dia. hole without using force or heat. I've been in aerospace quality too long to get sucked into that one. This entire thread on what are called "running clearances" is serving to remind me how few of us are mechanics. Samuel Colt and his place with interchangeable parts. I spent 2 years at Colt Firearms in Hartford Connecticut learning to assemble 38 specials. Most common tool was a file and rawhide hammer. Yes, parts were interchangeable. They had to be fitted to work VERY WELL. -- Regards, Peter T.
