You guys have a lot more skill than I, but please continue to post pictures of your progress and problems. I'm a 1911 fan. One day I'm going to do a 1911 project gun for fun.
Cool you're waiting on the plunger tube staking tool. I'm sure it's just me but I don't understand tuning a 1911. There is a lot of fitting but no tuning. Unless tuning is the word to use here. If your slide will travel on the frame completely from the front to the back without binding. And your barrel will lock up in the slides locking lugs and on the barrels feet then the pistol may run. Assuming the frame is assembled right with all the fire control parts, it should be OK. Now, if the barrels breach is fitted to the frame correctly, the rounds should slide up the frames ramp right into the barrel. And if you didn't have to cut the barrel hood too much to get the barrel to fit tube slide. You may not have to ream the barrel to set tube head space.
Yeah, I am waiting on staking tool. I chamfered the holes a bit because I read that helps with fitting and gives the rubes a place to expand. As I get more together, I will keep you up on my progress and definitely ask questions!
I have a tool that I made to pin that plunger tube in with. Its held for 5 years..if you need some 1911 guidance its in here.
if you need a basic trigger just let me know. I have like 30 of them.
Glad to hear it. We’d like to hear more about how it came out and see some pics to go with it. Please, don’t stop here, finish this up for us.
