- In this video we will show how to fit a gunsmith fit firing pin stop plate. This will solve extractor clocking and help resolve some feeding issues. We will continue on this series and have a lot more in store. If you have any questions leave them down in the comments. Have a great day from the Fusion Firearms Family!!!!!
A sheet of sandpaper on a surface plate works well for evenly reducing the thickness of the stop.
Yes, that is a good way also. Thanks for chiming in.
Yes it does.....A lot people don't realize how good some 1000 grit or even a nice India stone work.....I always start with sand paper and go to files only when needed.....
Thanks for the video I just got my block from you guys and thought they were drop in. First time repairing a 1911 glad I watched the video
Anytime, glad we can be of help!
Excellent video. Firing Pin Stop looks to be very simple but its role is critical. Lot to know to make the Firing Pin Stop as reliable as it can be.
Thank you,
Awesome tutorial …..thanks for posting this 😎👍
Thank you for joining in.
Thank you and your team for another great bit of FREE technical information that is a hands on learned skill
Our pleasure! Thank you for all your support!
Bob, thank you so much. Being from the mountains of Va. trying to explain about the firing pin stop plate gets crazy. I like the fact it dampens the recoil. Mr. Browning intended to have all of them squared off like that however the little candy ass officers couldn't rack the side and ride a horse as easy. That's why he changed it. I appreciate you Bob.
Thank you for the super comments. We will continue to work hard to help our 1911 community day after day.
@@fusionfirearms Y'all are the best sir.
Witness Marks Are The Term I Think You Were Looking For Bob 😀 I Love These Builders Videos Thanks Bob and The Fusion Family 💨🔫😀😇
Yep....:) Thanks...
😊Bob, thank you for sharing your skills and experience. These videos are well done. Your ability to relate your craft it outstanding!!! Please continue helping us refine our 1911's.
Wow, thank you, We will be making many more. Glad you enjoy them.
I came across your videos a little late in the running, but I can't Thank You enough for putting them out there!! You do an incredible job of explaining the FUNCTIONS, THE HOW TO, & WHY. I have not seen anyone cover the details so clearly. My mission is to view all your videos and checking out your website, hoping you sell parts to your students !!!! THANKS AGAIN 😊
Glad you like them and thank you for the super support and sweet comments!!
I really appreciate your videos, this one particularly because I have this problem (throwing brass everywhere) with one of my 1911s. I have for almost 30 years wondered what could cause this and done all sorts of things to try and fix it. I think this may be the answer, finally.
Glad we can help
As always, very informative videos! Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love these videos. If I was going to improve a great production I would have more close ups of what you consider obvious? For example you did mention (in passing) the firing pins sometimes hang up going in. I can count on it with mine. Also a close up of the install of the firing pin . That's a problem on a lot of 1911s. Seeing how YOU do it helps a lot. Thanks again Bob. It's obvious you were born for this work.
Thank you for all the super comments. Yes, we are working to continually improve these videos and details. We start back in Video production about the 3rd week in December. Thanks again for all your support and comments!!. Great feedback!!
Awesome info. Definitely a part that can try to trick you about where it needs fit. Love the videos!
Thanks for watching!
Great videos always.....Thank you.....
Our pleasure! thanks for joining in
Great topic Bob.
Thank you
Square bottom or curved bottom stop ? Why do the 2 versions exist ? Thanks ✊🇺🇸
More about sales than anything, some say the flat bottom styles will lead to less felt recoil. I have never seen a difference. I generally use the curved bottom style unless a customer spec's the flat.
@@fusionfirearms I will purchase the flat version from Fusion along with any other parts and possibly someday a complete firearm. I appreciate your highly professional and well done videos plus the way you respond quickly. Excellent. Thanks again and God Bless FF 🇺🇸✊
Thanks
My issue is my firing pin stop isn’t fitting when I try to replace my extractor. I’ve been too afraid to hammer it home. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Thanks for the videos. 😊
First, with the parts out of the pistol just see if the stop plate will go into the slot on the extractor. If not you can just file a bit of material from the stop plate or the extractor slot, to fit. Generally start with the stop plate, but first check the slot in the extractor for any burrs that may be giving you trouble.
I have a Kimber compact 1911. I am not able to remove the pin stop. It seems to be stuck in place. How do I remove it without causing damage?
It is best to put the slide on a bench block, insert a 3/32" punch and while pushing in the firing pin you tap down on the plate, removing it. I do have a video on this. I will also get a short done this weekend to post.
@@fusionfirearms Thanks for the response.
