Saw your sponsorship and video on 1911 Addicts. I am currently fitting a Kart barrel on a 6” Springfield V16. I just finished the hod fitting and wi be cutting the feet today. I sure wish Part 2&3 were available today. I was intrigued by your use of the lathe for cutting the hood length. Most. Have seen use a Milling machine but your lathe setup time is sure simplified. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing more as I have a bunch of 1911s on my bench that need some effort.

I’m really enjoying your videos. A lot of good information. Please keep them coming. Where did to find the inside micrometer that you used on the slide?
@sbardellaarms82379 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! The one I am using is made by Shars tool company, SKU 303-2103. It takes a bit of practice to take the slide measurement, because the locking lug surface is pretty small. You need to "wiggle" the tool around to find the sweet spot as you turn the ratchet.

Really nice work! Did you fabricate that little guide you used on the frame when to keep the barrel centered or was it purchased? I’d like to get ahold of one. Great video!

What are the main differences in this process when fitting a bull barrel instead of a bushing type barrel?
@sbardellaarms82375 ай бұрын
With a bull barrel, you must fit the barrel (i.e. set barrel tilt) to the bore of the slide since there is no bushing. Other than that, the hood fitting is exactly the same.

Can a guy build a 1911 without a lathe ?
@sbardellaarms82377 ай бұрын
Yes, you can build a 1911 without a lathe or mill. It will be a bit more challenging though. You can fit a barrel with just a file and a lug cutter. It will be pretty difficult to fit a bushing without being able to spin it for polishing, but you could use a drill press for this as well.

The hood fit should not touch the barrel lugs align the the barrel gunsmith’s that build target pistol’s believes that binds the barrel
