What are you seeing that differs? There are parts that go in the area of the sear and hammer that operate as an internal firing pin block. Other than that, differences in assembly can be from it differing from what you consider a normal 1911. There are different recoil spring assemblies that require different assembly methods if the 1911 has been customized. If it's just the internal safety parts and you can't get them to stay in place while reassembly, take some grease and coat the sides of the parts and stick them in place. The grease will lube the parts while in operation and is sticky enough to hold them in place while assembling the gun. The rest of the parts should assemble just like a normal 1911.

i am in loveland co

Yes there are two internal parst that go in the rear by the hammer and rear of trigger that i cant figure out. I have googled it and can only find videos and manuals for normal 1911's also there are two springs does the narrower one go inside the large one?

Grease the sides of the parts in your hands. Stick them to the inside slot on the right side of the sear and hammer in accordance with the pic I previously posted. Reassemble like it's a normal 1911, and press the pins in place that hold the trigger et al together. Complete assembly as normal from there. Piece of cake.
