Well I finally got my first 1911 which is a Springfield SS loaded. Picked it up from the FFL and went straight to the range, I shot off 300 rounds and pulled some great groups. Got home and figured I should field strip and clean it up. Well I cleaned it up and now i can't get the fawkin thing back together. I am trying to reinstall the slide release and I can't get it to go in. I can't beleive i can't figure out how to put this thing back together. If any of you have any advice or places to check out explaining reassembly I would appreciate it very much. Mike |

www.surplusrifle.com/pistol1911/disassemble/index.asp This site has some good instructions with pics for the 1911. |
Thanks again John. I put it back together in about 5 seconds after looking at that diagram. This is the first NEW firearm I have ever purchased and was worried about fawking it up. The internels are actually just as easy as a glock but I had more experience with tupperware. Thanks again, Mike |
Squid you forgot the grip bushings and mainspring. |
You are right. Did you also notice that the mainspring housing retainer pin was missing from the pic? When I took that pic I had lost that part to the great gun parts bin in the sky. Wouldn't ya know, as soon as I ordered a new one it shows up in a long gun case.
