I was just overlooking my SA 1911 and noticed that the chamber/barrel will drop down with a noticable click when fully locked up and a round in the pipe.
All I did was press down on the chamber with my thumb, accidentally at first, and the drop was about 1/32" or less. Something in there is clicking but I can't say what.
So, what does this mean?
I've also noted what appears to be scrape marks on the primers where the firing pin hits on center and then seems to skid down a bit. Could be up a bit.
Is one related to the other?
As always, your thoughts are appreciated.
