I've often wondered if the RI widebody could be mated to a MechTech. Bet that it's a handy lil' blaster!Johnnyrebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14079865843440423828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192903.post-43355689524297467422009-02-12T17:02:00.000-05:002009-02-12T17:02:00.000-05:00I learned a lot!

I never did know why some of the springs are kinked and some are straight.hpcc19http://www.blogger.com/profile/03078521634748014482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192903.post-63012126371154117082009-02-12T10:02:00.000-05:002009-02-12T10:02:00.000-05:00GI guns have the spring intentionally bent to prevent it flying out when you remove the thumb safety. You could do the same to yours. <BR/><BR/>Just sayin'.Vote For Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12005777971571572894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192903.post-58843294432633167212009-02-12T07:59:00.000-05:002009-02-12T07:59:00.000-05:00Careful when removing thumb safety.<BR/><BR/>If plunger tube is smooth inside and lubed and plunger assembly is smooth, the plunger spring assembly will shoot about 16 feet across the room and it is really hard to find. Point the back strap of the frame down towards the worktable when removing the thumb safety.hpcc19http://www.blogger.com/profile/03078521634748014482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192903.post-36221691496061213662009-02-07T18:10:00.000-05:002009-02-07T18:10:00.000-05:00Worth the wait. I've been messing with 1911 innards for years, but I still consider this a clip-and-save. For one thing, I'll start with it when I try to teach someone else how to bench strip the 1911. <BR/><BR/>(it's linked from my place.)<BR/><BR/>JimJimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034752526895428019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192903.post-40082761995490917972009-01-28T08:12:00.000-05:002009-01-28T08:12:00.000-05:00Gene, <BR/><BR/>Think about this. Browning figured this pistol out more than 97 years ago. The world isn't any more dangerous than it was before my post. Hell, you can do pretty well with a capped iron pipe, a marble, some homemade black powder, one hole, and a match.<BR/><BR/>Information isn't dangerous. Objects aren't dangerous. People are dangerous.Dr. StrangeGunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03349076338197668654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192903.post-82454071214707354882009-01-28T01:55:00.000-05:002009-01-28T01:55:00.000-05:00Amazing Dr. StrangeGun, you have nicely explained to disassemble 1911. But I think this also teach us to assemble it. So it is dangerous for us bcoz now any person can make <A HREF="http://www.americangunsmithinginstitute.org/" REL="nofollow"> firearms</A> like this and misuse it.Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858054051508941noreply@blogger.com
