It would be awesome if Brownells done a video series showing Steve build, step by step, a 1911!

That would be AWESOME!!

I love the Steve’s idea to start with a working gun and upgrade 1 component at a time. I got a Girsan MC1911 commander and I was impressed with basic fitting. I am starting with the trigger job. Thanks.

The most important tool is your judgement and knowing your limitations. Great vid. Thanks.

Wow! These videos are so informative. Thank you so much gentlemen.

Great video ... thanks Brownells

A great video, Thanks guys

PLEASE DO A VIDEO OF STEVE BUILDING A COLT 1911.

Check out AGI.

I have a power custom series 1 jig. Instructions say 20 clicks up from bottom. After stoning my Kimber and RIA sear I had hammer follow. I saw a post that said 4 clicks from bottom. 4 clicks worked. There's a big difference between 4 clicks and 20 clicks.

Great video, thanks for sharing, I learned a thing or two especially that I need more tools.

didn't know about the extractor tool--always fighting the damn things---just ordered one!!!!

Wow, that was like taking a 1911 course, thanks. How do i send my 1911 to that guy to make it perfect?

I have a workbook for building a 1911 by Ed Brown. I don’t know if it’s sold anymore but it’s very helpful as well as a book on building by Wilson’s as well as their 4 VHS tape series that they use to sell. 8 hours of first hand knowledge. I wish they would consider converting it to DVD or Blu-ray and selling them again or perhaps making a updated version with their current gunsmiths. In it Ron Phillips was the best instructor as well as Vic Tibbits. I had a Gold Cup that GunButcher had mutilated and it followed every time. Using the videos I was able to fix most of its problems myself particularly the trigger. By the way I have both volumes of Kuhnhausen’s manuals. For handwork the first volume is most useful.

How about a fitting jig for the manual Safety to keep the angle to fit it to the sear. I was searching for one, but never found one. I did this by hand I was lucky my first time fitting the manual safety. A jig would have helped.

do you have a video on how to use the 1911 sear hammer jig by brownells, i just bought one and would really like to see a guide on it. thank you

Can you do one for the ramped type barrels thank you Captain Dennis Wohltman

GREAT VIDEO !!!

Before I die I want to build my own 1911.

Thanks Guys 😀😊👍🏼

You missed giving information on replacing/installing front sights. Both dovetail and staked in.

When is the performance 10- 8 armorers block be back in stock , I have looked everywhere and no one has any😢

Question: the high end guns boost that the alignment of the pins for scar are sometimes mis aligned. How do you check it and correct it.

are all these tools in one kit? thank you

Behind you on the peg board you have a hand tool all the way to the right on the magnetic strip. I call it a machinest scraper. I have used it to modify the throat on a 1911 barrel. I can't find one of these tools anywhere on your Web page. My question is what do you call it and where can I get one if not from you.

David Braemer I believe grizzly sells some import quality scrapers. I think the one on the wall is called a bearing scraper or bushing scraper

I am fitting a bar-sto barrel and it looks like the shoulders/sides of the hood is what needs to be filed. Is this common ?

What is the ballpark price for all the tools you went over?

On adjusting the extractor, how do you determine the correct bend?

...I know hoew to INSTALL a 1911 thumb safety...but do you have a tutorial on fitting one???

What’s a good way to port the slide

What is the best sear jig for trigger jobs

Is there a basic 1911 tool kit a beginner can buy????

How do you fit a mag release

What kind of vice do you recommend when you work on a gun?

Any bench top vise will work. A 6” will do anything you need. Harbor Freight sells table top vises for under $60.00.

THE SHOULDER OF THE HOOD ON MY BARSTO BARREL IS WHAT IS TO LON. IS THIS COMMONG

Great tools. Wrong store to buy them at! I tried to buy a $4.00 part and shipping was $13.00 until I canceled the insurance and then it went to $10.00. Twice the cost of the part. A real rip-off.

can I get a 380 auto barrel for 1911?

Whoever asked why build your own vs buying...if you dont automatically know the answer to that please stop being interested in guns.

1 video metal 911plz sir

I use snap on tools and hornady. You need think about the position you are in and what the ramifications of your actions are.

/My question is, why does if take a .40cal frame for .38 Super build as opposed to a 9mm frame?

@StuninRub

2 жыл бұрын

because 9mm is .35 - .36.

Magazine release button wont seat in frame, looks like frame channel needs cutting

How much does it cost to get started in this

Because so many people are buying them! :) We have had a pretty crazy demand recently that was unexpected. We do have them all coming back in!

5 years ago video but go one line in 2022 very few 1911 parts and tools are even in stock. Must be few items being shipped from China🤣🤣🤣

Great products but your website setup sucks

"Why do I build a 1911 instead of buying one?" Because you are a crazy, gun nut, geek, LOL.

“Tool-Wise” not a word

If you claim to be a conservative and pro constitution pro gun. Get the hell off Facebook Twitter. Do your part and stop putting money in the pockets of anti American.

Whining the right mind have this a thumbs down,

It is nice to encourage enthusiasts.However, I have learned my lesson. Give me a file and a hammer and I can convert $ 1,000.00 dollars worth of parts into something unrecognizable.

Who is watching a 1911 building/tools video that doesn’t know what a beaver tail is?!

The 1911 sucks so bad
