    Default Springfield LW Operator FTF

    I recently sent back my Operator for FTF issues.I just got it back and now its the most reliable 1911 in my collection.They reamed the chamber,throated the barrel,polished the feed ramp,and tuned the disconnector.These are just the few that I remember.My question is,What is tuning the disconnector?What I have now is basically a customized gun for free.Springfield did a super job on this gun and now it will feed anything.Including the Corbon flying ashtrays.I just cant figure out what tuning a disconector is.

    when you tune the disconnector your stone the ends to get a better mating with the parts they mate to.
