    Removing case lube after full length resizing

    I owned and shot a benchrest 6mm-.284 for twenty years and always tumbled the cases twice; first after depriming to remove all the powder residue and again after resizing to remove the case lube. Recently someone told me there was no need to remove case lube as it doesn't have any adverse...

    Gunsmithing 1911 slide failure to lock open on an empty magazine - new cause

    Marines. No finesse at all.:) At first many folks don't realize that a 1911 is just a small machine and the parts that go into it don't require a wood rasp to fit.

    Gunsmithing 1911 slide failure to lock open on an empty magazine - new cause

    Sam, your experience speaks volumes. Hell, I don't know what to call that thing. Some refer to it as a lug but we all know what it does. Wilson makes good magazines. I had a strong preference for McCormick mags for years when I shot IDPA. Everyone seems to have their favorite brand. The...

    Gunsmithing 1911 slide failure to lock open on an empty magazine - new cause

    Yes it does. It also interacts with the disconnector and the hammer. It also holds down the next round in the magazine.

    Gunsmithing 1911 slide failure to lock open on an empty magazine - new cause

    The mags were sold by Ed Brown for $10 each as part of a magazine exchange promotion that may still be ongoing. I hasten to point out that of the twenty or so mags that I received only six had burrs. Conversations with others who also took advantage of the mag exchange revealed that they did...

    Gunsmithing 1911 slide failure to lock open on an empty magazine - new cause

    It's known by a number of names. I don't know off the top of my head if the ordnace blue prints actually assign it a name. I call it the disconnector rail because the disconnector contacts it. Without it the disconnector wouldn't be able do its job. Whatever you or I call it I think we both...

    Gunsmithing 1911 slide failure to lock open on an empty magazine - new cause

    This subject has been addressed many times and solutions include such things as replacing the magazine spring, bending the engagement tab on the follower outward, replacing the slide stop, using hotter ammo, replacing the recoil spring with a lighter one, and others. Today I discovered a...
