[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 2941177, member: 14520"] 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. [/QUOTE]
