HELP! Problem re-assembling GSG 1911 lower

[ryan3326]

I took my new GSG 1911 totally down to Dura Coat it and while reassembling - I was almost immediately tripped up by the "firing pin plunger lever" and "trigger bar lever" where exactly they go and in what sequence do I re-install them. Anyone have any advice on this?

Here is an exploded view of the GSG 1911. The two parts in question are #45 and #46

Those two items are part of the Schwartz safety system used on these pistols. Might be easiest to look at an exploded Kimber diagram, as they use this system as well, instead of the Colt Series 80 firing pin safety system. It's a lot easier to see it on the diagram than to type it, but I'm sure when you look at the picture you'll see how it goes together.

An update...

I found a video on Youtube that isn't the best quality but does show how these two additional parts are installed into the GSG. Really not difficult at all once you see how they fit and where they go.

Here is the video:

Could we see a picture of your durcoat job/color choice? I was really thinking about doing this with my GSG 1911 .22

When I wanted to change out my bobbed hammer in my HK USP to a spurred hammer the youtube 6 part videos of a guy doing a complete diss-assembly and reassembly saved my rear. I could pause-rewind-play until I got it right.

Welcome to the world of Series 80 lawyer design. This is what happens when people who go to law school apply their brains and figure out how to make a "safer" gun.
