[QUOTE="Daryl Licht, post: 3628134, member: 3330"] No. For the most part, 1911 parts are 1911 parts, they are not manufacturer specific. But regardless of whose parts you buy, they will almost always require that they be fitted to your specific pistol. A barrel, for example, might drop right in. But it may need a different link, either shorter or longer. The lugs may need to be fitted to your slide. Thumb safeties have to be fitted. Extractors need to be tuned. Barrel bushings need to be fitted. The list goes on. Detail stripping and reassembly is one thing, even a 1911 is not hard to detail strip and put back together. Building a 1911, or even changing most of the parts takes the correct knowledge, and in some cases the proper tools. [/QUOTE]
