Warbird: The sear pin is flush with the outside of the frame on both ends and the magazine safety is right against the inside of the frame The magazine safety is on the pin and there is no wiggle. It also matches up with the trigger bar on one end and the frame on the other end.
The guide lever is solidly on the sear pin and matches up with the magazine slot. I can't move it when the magazine is in but can push it down when the magazine is out. It moves back up when I let go like it's under spring pressure.
When I took the barrel and spring out of the slide and and installed it on the frame to the point where the magazine safety blocks it, the slide would move up and down slightly when I wiggled the muzzle end. The slide would move side to side a tiny bit when I wiggled it side to side.
Nothing worked to get the slide into battery. Let me know if I haven't answered your questions or if you'd like more information. While I've learned a lot working on this, it might be time for me to ask whether you know of a good gunsmith who works on HSc's. Thanks again for your efforts, JHP
