Stripping Her Down to the Frame
This is a link that "Hoss" gave me and I thought others may want to see it to. Its is very well done and you can go at your own pace, which makes it better than a video.
So for those brave souls (actually its pretty easy) here tiz: http://how-i-did-it.org/detail-1911/field_strip.html Have at it!!!:eek: Noel |
Very nice, clear and concise. I gotta print this. I've been wary of taking one apart for fear it'd be apart a long time.
Thanks, Jim |
Cool..I have manuals, and I gotta check out what Clyde sent me, but these pictures are BIG. Thanks
|
Chief has sent me two very good manuals. The level of detail in parts and names is excellent. :)
But this is designed to help you get it a part and back together spacifically. |
After a week and a half of basically no firearm access, I'll be trearing my 1911s down after I get home.
I plan to use the How I Did It documents. Grizz |
detail stripping is a sinch. :)
|
Yeah, it's not tough. But the diagrams make it a lot easier. :)
|
I took that "BIG STEP" last night and stripped mine, It was a lot easier then i thought,with the help of Clyde (moral support) and Dave Waits who made sure i had done the safety checks, and the link Noel posted made it less stressful.

Glad it worked out for you Ed. Or did it? All I see is pieces. Lol.
|
Good job Ed. nanner
Did you get it back together? :eek: Greg |
That is a very nicely done explanation. I wish I'd had that the first time I ripped everything apart. One thing that I do a bit differently - Bob Rodgers wrote an article a while back about stripping and cleaning your 1911. He recommends NOT having it in battery when turning the barrel bushing - but having something that won't mar the finish in the ejection port so that the slide is back a bit. This'll keep a nice tight custom fit barrel nice and tight.

I found a YouTube video which is actually pretty good. There are two videos, one for Disassembly, and one for Reassembly.
Dissasembly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyM8b...ure=plpp_video Reassembly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKcLY...ure=plpp_video Hope you find them as helpful as I did. |
It sounds intimidating but once you do it once and learn the little tricks its easy. I enjoy detail stripping my 1911s and feel extremely satisfied after a thorough cleaning. Only thing better than a clean 1911 is a hot dirty one. (same could be said for women evilnanner)

Woo Hoo...I just used the link posted by Noel and took her down to the frame and it went back together easier than I thought!
Didn't have to take to a gunsmith in a box...... |
