    Have talked to a local gunsmith and he's going to look at the gear for me and see what can be done. Probably get him to cut the acme threads on the screw brass nuts as well since they are pretty worn with a lot of back lash. I did manage to make the new brass nuts as my first project which kept me busy for hrs watching google clips an putting into practice what id seen.
