    It would be awesome if Brownells done a video series showing Steve build, step by step, a 1911!

    I love the Steve’s idea to start with a working gun and upgrade 1 component at a time. I got a Girsan MC1911 commander and I was impressed with basic fitting. I am starting with the trigger job. Thanks.

    The most important tool is your judgement and knowing your limitations. Great vid. Thanks.

    I have a power custom series 1 jig. Instructions say 20 clicks up from bottom. After stoning my Kimber and RIA sear I had hammer follow. I saw a post that said 4 clicks from bottom. 4 clicks worked. There's a big difference between 4 clicks and 20 clicks.

    I have a workbook for building a 1911 by Ed Brown. I don’t know if it’s sold anymore but it’s very helpful as well as a book on building by Wilson’s as well as their 4 VHS tape series that they use to sell. 8 hours of first hand knowledge. I wish they would consider converting it to DVD or Blu-ray and selling them again or perhaps making a updated version with their current gunsmiths. In it Ron Phillips was the best instructor as well as Vic Tibbits. I had a Gold Cup that GunButcher had mutilated and it followed every time. Using the videos I was able to fix most of its problems myself particularly the trigger. By the way I have both volumes of Kuhnhausen’s manuals. For handwork the first volume is most useful.

    How about a fitting jig for the manual Safety to keep the angle to fit it to the sear. I was searching for one, but never found one. I did this by hand I was lucky my first time fitting the manual safety. A jig would have helped.

    Great tools. Wrong store to buy them at! I tried to buy a $4.00 part and shipping was $13.00 until I canceled the insurance and then it went to $10.00. Twice the cost of the part. A real rip-off.

    Question: the high end guns boost that the alignment of the pins for scar are sometimes mis aligned. How do you check it and correct it.

    I am fitting a bar-sto barrel and it looks like the shoulders/sides of the hood is what needs to be filed. Is this common ?

  • @davidbraemer4032
    @davidbraemer4032 6 років тому

    Behind you on the peg board you have a hand tool all the way to the right on the magnetic strip. I call it a machinest scraper. I have used it to modify the throat on a 1911 barrel. I can't find one of these tools anywhere on your Web page. My question is what do you call it and where can I get one if not from you.

    • @brandonshudy789
      @brandonshudy789 4 роки тому

      David Braemer I believe grizzly sells some import quality scrapers. I think the one on the wall is called a bearing scraper or bushing scraper

    /My question is, why does if take a .40cal frame for .38 Super build as opposed to a 9mm frame?

    • @StuninRub
      @StuninRub 2 роки тому

      because 9mm is .35 - .36.
