How are barrels and bushings fitted? What makes them lock up?
What kind of rear sight cut do I have on my Springfield 1911A1? I want to replace the stock blade with a bo mar style adjustable, what is the best choice without requireing machining? Will it require a new front sight? How is that front thing held in?
Would putting in a new/aftermarket sear/hammer lighten up and smooth out the trigger pull? My stock parts are rough on the mating surfaces(have machining marks on 'em) but the trigger pull is nice and tight. I've noticed that the ones in the gun shop are all nice and smooth on the mating, engaging surfaces. Don't fix what ain't broke?
How is the side plunger and the ejector held on? How come nobody told me that that little plunger and spring were gonna come flying out and lose themselves in the carpet when I removed the safety?
(hours of grumbling fun looking for that!!) Was that one of my 1911 initiations?
How come I haven't gotten one of these cool guns before now? I love it, just don't really understand how everything is put/works together.
Thanks
Tom
