OMG - First Cleaning of 1911

[Hannu]

Soon enough you'll become a real 1911 owner and detail strip it




It's really not as bad as it looks.

Completely agree. It takes 2,5-3 minutes to assemble that, if it is built & fitted properly.

It is matter of technique, not force However, different guns need different things - bb/reverse plug, full lenght/short guide rod...

Just take your time and avoid slipping when you put the doohicky back through the thingamabob and its supposed to snap back with the thingamajig tube or you'll scratch the racky-behind thingy real obviously.

It's called the dummy scratch.

PS: I wrote the manual.

Foxtrot is right.... get /w a long time 1911 shooter and he will show you! not even kidding!!!
