Edit: I am trying all sorts of shimming combination and it does not work... ;-( I will have to find a local gundoc a.s.a.p
Spur gear should be raised a slight bit off the bushing. Sector gear needs to be raised enough off spur gear to clear it. I've had the same issues with you before, and was all because of too many shims on top of the sector gear, putting them mostly on the other side, and having a little side to side movement of the sector gear is good. Try it a few more times on your own, then when really frustrated, gun doc. Am sure you'll get it by yourself, you seem to have most of the gears shimmed right, so why let the sector gear beat you? Especially when I just gave you the info about side to side movement, about 0.5mm and clearing the spur gear surface is a good thing. Shimming is all about feel and eyeballing, is why I said to avoid shim charts.
