Remington 1911 R1 ejector and slide/frame blending

I'm definitely not the guy for teaching this stuff. I'm still a novice when it comes to gunsmithing.

T-dogg, what did you use to cut the slot for the roll pin in your ejector? I'm getting ready to tackle the same job.

Not too bad of a job, right? I've done 2 now.

The filing for the roll pin went great. The major headache was the slide wouldn't fit on... it turns out a Kimber has an offset rail groove and a regular ejector isn't in the right spot ... queue 3+ hours of filing it down and the slide fits on perfectly haha.

When I did the ejector on my Tisas 45 Carry, I had to remove some material from the left side of the ejector to get the slide to go over it. But, I have a mill, so it was well less than 3 hours.

While i've always just fit ejectors manually with filing the slot in the leg I am going to try the drill bit method and see how it works.

Here's a link to a fixture that keeps everything in place but most ejectors you end up tapping in but maybe this is useful?

I have the ejector jig....

I'd gladly loan it out, as long as I get it back
