[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1840708, member: 385"] I built thousands of action kits when I worked for a noted small high-end 1911 manufacturer. The kits were built up, one at a time, using a spec frame and carefully selected high end parts. Kits were checked for safety and advertised function before careful packaging. Usually the kits dropped into the customer's gun at 3 1/2 t0 4 1/4# with no fuss. Still, if the kit were installed by a customer, in a non-spec frame, the results might not be good. In fact, a non-spec frame could make a "good" kit into one that was unsafe in that particular gun. If the frame web between the mag well and the area the sear spring sits is out of spec, bad things can happen. If the catch point in the frame for the sear spring is in the wrong place, bad things happen. If the disconnect hole in the frame is mislocated/out of spec bad things happen. You are best to have someone with smiting skills install and check the kit. [/QUOTE]
