Pt 3: The Barrel- Building the Oh Crap gun SA Prodigy 4.25"

Pt 3 begins the fun work of addressing the issues that were noticed during Pt 2 & 2.1 and it all centers around the barrel. Tools needed can be as simple as different grits of sandpaper and hand files, up to dremels and a Sawzall (not really but you'd watch for that!). The one special tool that can't be faked is the FINISH CHAMBER REAMER. If you don't have one, or a friend with one, this might be the time you send it back to Springfield Armory to have your Prodigy reamed. But finish watching the video first. You're this far in so you might as well.

The point of the work is to make the Prodigy (hopefully) more reliable when it shoots JHP rounds of all shapes and brands. Tall order but I'm going for it. During the JHP test fire, several malfunctions and chambering issues were noticed and this work should resolve it. And please forgive me. I was getting over a really nasty cold while shooting the vid so the struggle was real.
