Finally got it working.
After waiting for a while for the threaded barrel, and my can to get re-cored (07/02 friend, he did it as a favor)
I dry fired it to function test and the end of the firing pin yeeted across the shop.
Shout out to Wojtek for the replacement pin
To the range!

I just went out to fill the bird feeders
They do this all evening, toward the end the tank is low
Swung by the LGS and found this like new Blue Label G4 with steel sights and 200 rounds
Got a really good deal. I'm going to do a 10mm swap, with the barrel and the extractor, I'll be in it way less than 20s are fetching on GB
Found a reasonably priced frame, added spares, and created this masterpiece for $125 all in.
