1911
Sir:
I agree with Nick totally - your pistol has recieved some "custom" work. Glad it runs fine. But, "welcome to the 1911 world" - there are more things to do to a 1911 than carter has liver pills. Keep that slide to frame clean and lubed. Nick has a treatment mentioned you might also try.
Personally, I don't like Stainless in an automatic, but they all seem to run fine. Yours will be fine, but I know haw you feel.
You know, it says it's CZ policy - Are these pistols made in a CZ plant? CZ has made some fine pistols and rifles. I have a carbon steel CZ 9mm that they forgot to cut the "leade" in the chamber - I had a 9mm reamer so I just did it for them - pistol runs great now - headspace is fine.
Just to let you know that your gun and problen isn't unique Charles Shaner, now deceased, a master smith, called me to come over and see this Winchester 243. I arrived and it was a new rifle, marked with the Winchester proof mark with NO CHAMBER CUT!!!! So help me it's true!
Just because it's new means nothing, except you need to do something to it generally! Our work at Novaks was this: - most of our work was on "NEW GUNS"!
