3 Cheap and Simple 1911 Improvements: Frame, Trigger, and Mag Release
You just bought a cheap/used 1911 because you don't have the budget. You notice before buying it that something doesn't feel right with the 1911 but you know that Nobody probably has a video about him tinkering with one. So you take the chance and buy it. You really don't want to put anymore money into it other than a few necessary things...if you have to. In the mean time, you have some basic tools and files lying around, along with some clever "just make it work" know how, and you set off to make your simple improvements to the 1911. And you pushed play...don't forget that part!
For the Cheap and simple 1911 improvements video, we will be working on a Norinco 1911A1. It come over right before the ban and from what I understand the later models, such as mine, didn't have the best tolerance and finish work as the early models. But that is ok. It gives me something to do.
The hard part about tinkering is that there is always a tool to make something simple. However, we often don't have that tool and have to figure out a substitute. Something you have will most likely work well enough to get you over the top. Figure it out and get it done. And then order the right tool for next time! LOL
Here is a list of tools and stuff that you will need for your simple improvements to the 1911:
1. Sandpaper of various grits. In this video I used 400 and 1200. It is what I had on hand.
2. Flat surface: I used a piece of ceramic tile
3. Wheeler 600 grit lapping compound. You may not need this but I did.
4. Trigger track stone: You most likely won't have one. You can substitute a flat needle file that has smooth edges.
5. Files: Needle file set is handy. Any filing I did was with a smooth cut file.
6. Small flathead screwdriver
7. 1/2"x1/2"x6" India stone. The one I used was a fine cut.
8. 1/2" round stock of some kind.
9. Oil. Bare metal will need a coat of oil to prevent rusting.
10. Wildcard. You might have something come up that is different and require SOMETHING I didn't have to use. You will figure it out. If not, send me a message and I'll brainstorm with you.
