My CBOB is not playing nice

[Mike45]

You might look at Cylinder and Slide parts I hear nothing but good things about them.

EGW, Cylinder and Slide, Wilson, Ed Brown... There are lots of good 1911 parts out there. I can't look at Brownell's site right now (site is blocked at my job), but if I recall correctly (and that's a big "if"), I think they sell some entire ignition parts packages from some of the better manufacturers in the biz. Try to get good tool steel parts so they can be stoned a little if you decide to get a trigger job done later.

Since the CBOB uses many Ed Brown components, it would be logical to purchase their products for replacement. A good idea to get some other items (firing pin, recoil spring, etc) in the same shipment as you never know and I'd rather have the backups sitting in a drawer then in someone's storehouse.

Thanks for the advice. I noticed that price difference between Ed Brown and Brownell's for the same product is just pennies different. Go with the man.

I would suggest the Cylinder&Slide MARSOC kit. Gives a nice,crisp 4lb. pull drop-in. Very high quality parts.

I knew I should have come here first before going to Ed Brown. Ah well, even found a stainless hammer I didn't have on the CBOB. Time of my order was 04:12, your post 04:18.

Just wanted to mention that you may want to check the adjustment of the over travel screw in the trigger if you have not already, it's a common cause of hammer follow.

Nowlin kits from Brownell's are nice.

Thanks, we did. Wasn't part of the problem, apparently, but we'll definitely make certain it's correct when we reassemble the hammer system. Fortunately, I have backup in a Para Ord SSP .45acp government model that I shot today in Centerfire Falling Plates. That puppy is also a tack driver, just wish I was as good as it is. Still, held my own, did well and got lots of bullets down range and that's what it's all about, right? Looking forward to bringing the CBOB on-line for some more centerfire falling plates.

It was the cause of my New CBOB's hammer follow. Works fine now. Some screws were not loctited at the factory. This comes from a Reputable source! Adjusted mine and Voila! It fixed it. It appeared at about 200 rounds. After adjustment, all is well in CBOB land!

That would have been my first guess.
