Re: What shaft for old style JBL Woody 38 Special?
Ah, this is no doubt the problem. There are no flats on the shaft I got. It's the 731-SA, which I gather is for the newer model, which has a different fire control design. Looking at your spreadsheet, the 728-SA was the proper match. That shaft seems to still be available here, so I may just order that one and see about returning the other back to Leisure Pro. Or, I could do some grinding...
JBL having two different guns with the same name, but incompatible shafts, is a PITA. They should make more effort to distinguish new style from old style in their marketing. Instead, they refer to SKU numbers - who knows those? Last edited by spoolin01; 01-29-2019 at 03:46 PM. |

One way to do it is to paint the tail with engineer's blue, scribe the lines of where the flat should go and grind away the excess material necessary to achieve the correct size. You want the wishbone notches or shaft tabs on top as they are controlled by matching flats in the walls of the sear box. Last edited by popgun pete; 01-29-2019 at 04:01 PM. |

According to that shaft pdf above, it seems to have started with the M7 trigger. Unless LP sent me the wrong shaft. I hesitate to grind it since I have only a freehand grinding pedestal, but may if LP won't exchange.
Divenfish above also has a shaft to sell, have to confirm which style it is. |

How did you go with making the shaft tail flats? Or did you buy another "old skool" JBL shaft?
