      And yet another 1911 question thread.lol

      I could see it when I took it out of the package. Kinda had that "crap" look when I compared it next to my original hammer. I called and spoke to some one on the phone and he said we shoot for around 018-020,and if yours is 010 some thing is not right. I just assumed it was one of those "smith...

      And yet another 1911 question thread.lol

      I just did alot of reading over on the forum posted on the first page here. From what I can tell,its ok to stone that edge to get the desired height in the sear stop. Ill make some phone calls tomorrow and see what every one says. Ill also place an order for a new sear,and this stupid hammer...

      And yet another 1911 question thread.lol

      Ok,I decided to tear my 1911 apart tonight and see what im working with. I have some more questions. The sear stop on the hammer is supposed to be around .020. The stop on the factory hammer is spot on at 020,the new hammer I bought is right at 010. Which from what Im reading is a little to...

      you mean the half as the hammer I bought? I should change the sear also because of metal hardness? Understandable. Sounds like I need to make another order.

      Ok,I might just have to send it off. I dont want to get half way in this thing with crap strewn everywhere and have to pack it up and salvage what I have left. It sounds like some thing I can do,but it also sounds like some thing that would drive me bat**** crazy.

      And yet another 1911 question thread.lol

      Ok,would there be any timing involved in the trigger,sear and hammer? Or is that what I would be doing with stoning? I do not have an adjustable trigger. Just what ever was factory. And I am watching that video of that guy doing the stoning job and install you posted. Very informative.

      And yet another 1911 question thread.lol

      Ok,so let me run some questions by you. I have done some reading and the dremel is a NO-NO. with that being said,I have no problems sitting down and cleaning and smoothing things with a stone. First question. You said the sear and hammer need to be stoned. Do I need to replace the sear with a...

      And yet another 1911 question thread.lol

      I have never installed one before. I have done all previous work to all my pistols and rifles. But if this is out of my league,Ill send it to some one that knows. The thing I dont know though,is any Smiths around the Cincinnati area that specialize in 1911's.
