I now have my second 1911. I don't intend to build my own (wait ... isn't that what I said about my AR's?) but I would like to be able to strip the gun down to its parts and be able to put it all back together. Can someone suggest a book or manual that would be my best guide.
Thanks |

AR15 is like playing with Lego's compared to a1911. Not really. OP isn't asking about fitting parts to a 1911, he is asking about detail stripping and reassembly. I would say a 1911 is more like Legos, since there aren't any roll pins or taper pins, only push pins. |
