1911 Pistols: Colt v Springfield Armory

[Snattlerake]

Oh no!!! A Remington....how could you get such a ...... @#%#$^&*

I'm kidding, I just wanted to get in on all the stupid pissing in this thread.

That's a nice-looking pistol.

I took it shooting at H&H a few weeks ago. It was a jamamatic. The damn thing would not go into battery after every shot. It would stick about 1/8th of an inch to full lockup. It was then pull the mag, make sure you were pointed downrange and beat the hell out of the slide to get it to go backward to eject the jammed round. I took it to the COPS gunsmith who discovered the feed ramp was ground to the left a bit and straightened it. Now it feeds everything. It is tighter than a mouse's ass stretched over a 55 gallon drum. I think I'll polish the dog mess out of it especially the inside of the bushing and the feed ramp and rails. I have a Dremel and polishing wheels somewhere. . .
