Well Guys , wanted to give you updates . Received the Cardian Ejector SS Premium Grade 45acp , had to cut the half Moon using the reverse drill bit from Dawson Precision with my hand drill set in reverse on a low torque , was concerned about enlarging the pin hole but the bit cut the pin so easy no binding hole wasn't touched , worked perfect , only took seconds . Also the ejector fit snug probably could have gone without staking , it was sized so well . That was a first , most of the time things like this turn into a nightmare .
Installed the new 16 lb recoil spring from Brownells , seemed stronger then original . I inspected and polished parts , outside of barrel , inside and out on the collet barrel bushing , rails , trigger , hammer , disconnect was pretty gritty . Got it all together , tested with snap caps but the real test will be Thursday , it does feel smoothed but you still can't chamber the first round without cocking the hammer . I saw videos on Les Bear 1911's working the same way being made so tight . Steve from Allentown posted that it could be a good thing , barrel lockup seems that way , hope your right Steve .
Other then that the gun looks great and after all this fun stuff , it does feel much smoother . Thanks for All The Help , Hope it Shoots.
