[redwingshooter]

I'm in for November if there is space available.

I hope this goes well and you get to do more of these. Sounds like a great learning experience. And the commemorative pistol we are getting is a 1911.

Awesome and thanks.
I hope it goes well too. If all goes as planned this will benefit almost any 1911 owner and help avoid some of the pit falls I see on guns that I work on.

Posting to confirm that I will be at this Saturday's class. Payment for the class is going in the mail tomorrow, payable to Moore Gunworks unless you respond differently.

I purchased the EGW Kit #10211 from Midway USA for $129.99 including shipping using coupon code ORDEROFF15. It gives $15 off of $100 purchase. I will be working on my Springfield Loaded SS in 9MM for the class.

Who is coming out to the class to sweeten up the trigger group on their 1911?

Question: How well would that trigger work knowledge transfer to other firearms?

Not to well. It would give some general knowledge of what is involved, but many of the specifics are unique to 1911's.

Thanks for the bump.
There are 2 others who are confirmed for the 24th and a couple maybes, I have openings for up to 3 more.

Trigger work will be the main focus but there is alot more that will be covered as well.

 

[Gluemanz28]

I will be headed down early Saturday morning from Elkhart if anybody from the Northern part of the state wants to go and ride along. I will then be headed back north after the class. Shoot me a PM if anybody is interested.

My parts came in today for the Trigger overhaul.

I will be going in on Friday and going to the 1500 for the first time in several years. Hope to see some INGO'ers there.

Here is my Trigger Kit



I think Allen has a couple spots left for the class. This is going to be geat class so get signed up!!!!

 

[AllenM]

I am planning on hitting the 1500 Friday too. probably see you there.

Just a note to anybody thinking about attending these workshops. It is not manditory that you buy all new trigger parts. You will learn just as much tunning exsiting parts and still see significant gains.

Looking forward to the class!
Do I need to detail strip and clean my guns before bringing them? My guns are users, they routinely get this only when they start to choke.

Your call. The work you will be doing is on the ignition components out of the gun.
Take you lubes/rags/cleaners etc.

Sorry to hear that CM. Tell Mrs Mouse me and Mrs Glueman are sorry for her loss and praying for the family.

I cannot speak to the other folks coming to class.
For one though, I didn't break down my 1911 completely for years as it was my primary self defense gun. Didn't want to risk messing up something that would turn my primary life saver into a hammer.

 

[AllenM]

Don't worry about cleaning them, we will be do that while we have them apart.
