and I want to set it up like the original 1911s were, i.e., you can use the pistol itself for it's own take down tool.
Can you run through the sequence and actions of which part takes down what for me? I tried serch, no help. I see most of it, including the toe of the mag as a screwdriver for the grip screws, but what the heck takes out the firing pin? A grip screw?
My son is in the Air Force, is 27 and has finally gotten his stuff together as a man and since for the first time in years I can at last say I'm proud of him, I'm ready to build him a good 1911.
I've got a Springer 1911A1, box stock that was my fathers. I've gone through it and I can't see any MIM or cast parts. It's proably ten (?) years old. It does have the two-piece barrel which I intend to replace.
Any advise for me? It'll be his 'one' gun, if he ever gets any more I'd be surprised so I want it to be the general all-purpose pistol that a good 1911 can be.
Thanks for your help. (I waited a couple of weeks past your moving, 'cause I know how easy and stress-free that is!!!
