Look up some instructions on the web... nobody has to know.Big_Red_Tex wrote:
Well I've run into an issue putting it back together once I cleaned it and filed down the rough edges. And for whatever reason I can't get the hammer to cock back so i can put in the safety. And it's driving my nuts because i want to go shoot it because I just put in a wilson combat firing pin, a sear and sear spring. So I want to see how well it works in it. I already called my range to have the smith there look at it and he was like "I'll show you how to put it back together" I'm like noooo kinda like a shot at my manhood LOL.
But i'd rather have that then screw it up any further.
I know what part is in backwards I believe, but I don't know what it's called or which way it's supposed to go off the top of my head. Just look for things that could be inserted two different ways and see if they are backwards. Also are you sure the sear didnt require fitting? I'm no 1911 smith but during my research I recall all the FCG parts need to be fitted. I'd actually look into that first before taking it back apart.Since we're showing off... I like stainless things with S&W printed on them.
