Hey all, I've got an old 1911 that rattles like crazy when you shake it. If I remember correctly, there's .013" horizontal and .006" vertical play in the slide to frame fit. The barrel is very poorly fit and the barrel bushing isn't fitted (hand loose). I know a Wilson group gripper would be a band-aid, but would it work?
1911Tuner informed me that it would be best to swage the frame rails to tighten up the fit. However, it is my dad's pistol and it has a lot of sentimental value to him, so I don't want to alter the frame or slide in any way.
