[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 1224025, member: 8980"] You dumb sack of **** *** *** **** * ******* ** ********* ** * ***. :) j/k kidding of course. Okay first off, am I understanding that you are saying the slide won't cock the hammer when you rack it, right? If that is the case, the only part you should have filed on is the hammer hooks. This is the part of the hammer that engages the sear. See this: [url]http://www.m1911.org/full_1911desc.htm[/url] As you're looking at the left side of the hammer, put your hammer hooks at 12:00... (the hammer hooks are the smaller notches on the lower side of the hammer that has a split between them where the strut goes). Once you're looking at the hammer as I said, you should have filed the hammer hooks towards the 1:00 position... notice I said "towards" though... not all the way to it... just take off a little bit. What this will do (watch the animation I posted) is allow the hammer to cock earlier, in other words, it doesn't have to be pushed back as far to cock. The disconnecter should not be touched, really ever. The sear has two angles on it that you don't really want to mess with unless you know what you're doing (you can fine-tune the action by adjusting the angles). The nose is the only part one would adjust for tuning, not the feet. You are welcome to put your parts in the mail and send them to me and I'll be glad to try to salvage them for you... but you're probably going to want to get a new sear and disconnecter. [/QUOTE]
