Maks_H Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Any chance to repair cracked breechface or the slide is just scrap metal now? Edited February 6, 2014 by Maks_H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrooney Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I am not a gunsmith but I would guess paperweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Halley Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Maybe SVI could be contracted to machine it for an interchangeable breech face? Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maks_H Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Simple gunsmith repair or nothing. It's better to buy a new slide as doing some expensive repairs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I personally wouldn't invest money into fixing that. Just buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walnutty Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've never seen that type of damage to a 1911. May I ask what happened to cause that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogiebb Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 i think i remember Clark Custom working on breechfaces that are worn or pitted, i would contact them to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Givo08 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've never seen that type of damage to a 1911. May I ask what happened to cause that? I'd like to know as well. I've seen the same from glocks that were heavily dry fired, but I've never seen that on a 1911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If it was mine, I'd scrap it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maks_H Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Nothing specil happened. It's a friends gun and the gun just stopped fully closing the slide at some point during shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
