A while back, I mentioned I was going to try and build a 1911. Well, I now have all the parts I need except for one vital part, the lower receiver, I mean frame. The frames are out of stock with no known ETA, so it's time to play the waiting game. I was able to install the barrel link and barrel link pin onto the barrel, as well as adding the hammer strut to the hammer, again with the help of a small roll pin. Finally, I assembled the main spring housing and lanyard loop (a small punch and vice works much better than a cow with a nail in it for this step). I got the slide today from UPS so I can install the firing pin spring, firing pin, firing pin stop the extractor. So it looks like tonight I have about 5 minutes of work before it's back to the waiting game.
Have a good weekend!
