Just got an email from PK. My WHM1 is shipping next day air out tommorrow. I can't wait to get it back. It had some minor problems that I am sure have been expertly corrected. I wanted 100% reliabilty... Occaisionally it would fail to fire. PK, I am sure did wonders to it. I am so confident that I am getting into the savings for some more ammo.

I will post the results of my test fire...

SGT. We will try it out next week if you want to.

Cool! Did you have any other work done to it besides correcting the reliability issues?

Congrats! I know the waiting game. It's more than worth it.

Now, mine can shift up a notch on the pile of wood to chop in Colorado ....

Let's see pics on the pup's return.

I had PK "overhaul" my NIB-WHM1 about a 11/2 years ago & have never had a problem with it. It was a jam-a-matic before that. Now all it does is go rat-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta (dumping a 30 rd. mag.). Congraduation on a wise decision to send it to PK.

I had the front sight pinned, the rear sight solid riveted, the corners of he receiver rounded ( like military ). I also had a Savage trigger group fitted to the gun. My west hurley trigger group was evidently a modified semi. It has a groove cut down the center of the inside of the housing. Made for a pain in the butt to take apart.

I should receive it friday and take it to the range 10 minutes later .. I'll post pictures next week.

Sten guy: 10 minutes! Why so l-o-n-g?! But seriously, folks, what kind of finish and rear sights did you opt for? Did you replace the WH barrel with GI?

Have had my own WH M1 back from PK's for only a little over a month. It is REALLY a nice piece of work! Looking forward to your photos!

[sten guy]

The barrel is still WH. The trigger frame and all internals and bolt are G.I....

I opted for the blue finish..

The initial range report::

I fired 300 rds thru the M1 without a hitch. I have a great confidence level in it now. No malfunctions on semi either ( like I ever use it anyway ). It has a better feel to it than before....

I'll post pictures soon.

Excellent!

Rat-tat-tat!

There's a semi-choice? I'll be damn! It's possible to squeeze off single rounds on full-auto, have you tried that? Saves wear on the switch, you know?

Congrats and enjoy!

1000 rds and not a malfunction......

I wouldn't have believed it when I first bought it a year ago..
