Tucker conversion

[1911addict]

I know this is a long shot but I was wondering if a tucker conversion assembly (never been mounted) may still be available? I am a fan of this modification and want to do one on a very good scope that is jumping after adjustment. If someone has the dimensions/information,etc on how they were made would work as I can make anything I need. I believe this is a modification that someone needs to start doing again.

I believe he is still doing them.

Cecil Tucker has a new phone number

A while back I looked everywhere on the internet for Cecil Tucker's phone number and the one that came up did not work. Today I read a post on Benchrest Central that gave a number that works. It seems that he got rid of his old home phone in favor of a cell phone. Here is that number...

The original one was done primarily to 36X Leupolds. The pivot at the rear of the erector tube was modified to eliminate several thousandths of lateral movement that the factory design allowed. In the plane of the CL of the turrets a tubular housing positioned so that it radiated out from the scope CL about 45 degrees below the horizontal contained a coil spring and plunger to create more force on the erector tube than the stock, leaf type bias spring. Various improvements and variations have been offered, including one that has a knob to loosen for adjustemnts and tighten after they have been made.
