How often do you clean your firing pin and how do you get it out?  (S.A Op.)

once a year. I push the firing pin down with an allen wrech of close size and while doind that I push the "plate" down keep you thumb over the rear of the slide to catch the firing pin. link 1911 with 80 series and swartz are just a little different. On the 80 you have to depress the plunger on the bottom of the slide to launch the fp out. Swartz?? don't know I won't buy one. |
Ditto, and the drill for pulling the parts off an 80 slide, Push the FP block plunger in, then push the FP into the slide deep and let go of the FP block plunger. The FP will be stuck forward inside the slide. Now remove the FP retainer (read slide it out the bottom), then hit the FP block plunger to shoot the FP and FP spring out the back of the slide. Now pull the extractor out just a hair, and you can remover the FP block plunger and it's spring. As for the extractor, if it only moves a hair past that and sticks, then you will need to lift the claw out a tad to clear the breach face lip of the channel. To reinstall, the extractor goes almost all the way in, the FP plunger and spring installed and pressed down, and then the extractor install the last of the way to retain the plunger. To install the FP/spring, you will need to push down on the plunger, and as before, you can push the FP in deep and let go of the plunger to hold the FP in place as you install the FP retainer. |
