[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 713277, member: 7629"] no but he bailed me out again today... after he sent me home with one sweet running 1911. of course I had to take it apart, including sear, etc.. had a devil of a time figuring out how to get it back together correctly. finally got it all put back to. a horrible grinding noise when hammer was cocked. took it apart again, checked everything.... the grinding noise just wouldn't leave. though I put it together wrong. caught Eric at opening time... he graciously tore into my 1911 and verified everything was put together correct and showed me the correct method to reassemble. the grinding noise wouldn't go away. 1911 would cycle fine, with noise only evident when disassembled. got home ... tore 1911 apart yet again... managed to isolate grinding noise to hammer spring follower, which was galled badly. started to put it all back together... but spring follower went flying... arrrgggghhh managed to find a spare spring follower... filed/sand rough spots, then reassemble.... finally 1911 is working correctly! and I've still not shot it yet... did get two more Wilson clips todays.
