I am assembling a parts gun and the extractor is to tight to let brass engage , Jerry Kunhausen book does not show how to lessen the grip on brass ? I am assuming that the rounded part at center of extractor is where metal is removed to reduce spring tension ? Please advise ? Thank you all ! Don't take the chip ! | ||

Don't remove ANY material. The tension is set by "CAREFULLY" bending the forward portion of the extractor, ahead of the "knuckle", in or out until your extractor tension gauge pulls free. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx...OR_TENSION_GAUGE_SET You will also need some form of trigger pull gauge. It's possible to set the tension without the gauge, however, you may go through several extractors while developing the "feel". _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.

I'll go on the record saying that assembling a 1911 from parts without the proper training and tools is a very dangerous thing to do. Please do not attempt to fire such a pistol without having it thouroughly checked by a compitent pistol smith first. John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

What those boys said and the 1911 is a very simple design that relies upon some very complex and exact geometry lining up at just the correct time. Have a smith check it out before hand. www.KLStottlemyer.com Deport the Homeless and Give the Illegals citizenship. AT LEAST THE ILLEGALS WILL WORK | |||
