Neighbor's yard? Your lawn mower might turn it up next Spring :)
I guess since it's only 2 or 3 shots at a time a simple shooting stick might be just the ticket.
Is the cocking lever extension something that I might be able to fabricate for you?

Isn't that nice? :D

That is really nice! Super quick turn around and paid both ways. The way things should be. Hope it runs like eggs thru a hen for ya.Quote:

Finally, all the leaves down. Hope I get to mow once more. I'm weird I like cutting grass, nobody knows I'm a derelict sitting on that zero turn.Quote:

I looked briefly to see if I could order a replacement but didn't see it so far, didn't look too hard. And of course, soon as I find one the original will turn up. I'd really like to find it, kind of like finding that errant fly away spring in the gun room. Personal challenge. Much appreciate the offer all the same.
And didn't you buy that as a used gun Barth? If so, all the more reason to admire Sig for taking such good care of you.Quote:

(If I'd read the directions better, we wouldn't be here now) It should help some in cocking the thing as it's a really heavy spring. That spring cap should be like this lever extension, findable. I even this morning checked the tube for the 20th time to see if it got sucked down in instead of launching. It launched. Mind boggling.Quote:

I get the gun back tomorrow and looking forward to function checking it the next day.
My Sig Ultra has returned.
Gunsmith polished the feed ramp and replaced the recoil spring.
Then function checked with one full mag of 230 gr Speer Lawman TMJ.
Followed by one full mag of Winchester Ranger T-Series.
Customer Service told me only use OEM Sig Magazines.
I only have two Sig mags.
So, I loaded those and three Wilson Combat 6 round officers mags with Ranger Ts.
The two Sig mags ran fine, but I had a FTF on the first WC.
Unloaded the three WC mags, reloaded the Sig mags and it ran fine!
Already had ordered one more Sig mag from Sig arriving today.
So, I ran up to Cabela's and bought four more Sig mags (total of seven) - LOL!
I'm surprised the gun doesn't like Wilson Combat mags.
Never heard of that before.
But I'm fine with just running Sig Sauer mags:)
And Winchester Ranger T-Series is a personal favorite of mine.
Have 200 rounds of Ranger Ts inbound as we speak.
That's ~50 rounds of T-Series through the OEM Sig mags without issues.
I'll run a second 50 through the gun and if all is well put it in the carry rotation.
It's a tack driver and surprisingly soft shooting for a light weight 3.3" 45.
I'm a Happy Camper :cool:
If Kahr won't make a K45 Elite, this Sig Ultra 45 will have to do ...

I got my chief a Para Ordnance LDA. He was NOT a gun guy but wanted something other than a Glock. He was NOT safe with a 1911 but liked the looks.
He was having issues at the range, so I ended up with the gun to sort it out. It also did not like Wilson mags, I've never heard of that before either. It ran perfect with the Para mags. I looked and looked and could not see any notable difference.
I took it to the range and shot 100's or rounds, thinking it just wasn't broke in enough. Anyhow it lived with Para mags. When he left, he brought me the gun. He'd left it on the floorboard of his dept car which apparently leaked (alot). It was a stainless gun and the whole left side that was apparently down was rust or the start of rust. Badly stained.
I cleaned and cleaned and got nowhere. I ended up running it on a flat belt sander. Actually, turned out halfway decent.
Dang it! Now I want a Sig Ultra.....................................
