cuzinvinny Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 As I've become more familiar with my 1911, I've started to proceed further and further in the disassembly and re-assembly process. Just removed the extractor for cleaning, for the first time. I've decided that I really need either a good DVD or book with detailed (meaning lots of pictures) dis-assembly and re-assembly instructions. Any recommendations?

Joe4d Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Kuhnhausen"s Volume one is by far the best it starts with basice stripping and cleaning and moves all the way to machining and fitting new parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I know that Dawson is currently in production of a 1911/2011 disassembly/assembly DVD. Look for it this summer. -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisStock Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Here's what I learned from at home : this video. Look at other videos from the same guy for more easy to learn and use 1911 assembly/disassembly work. Best of all, it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) As I've become more familiar with my 1911, I've started to proceed further and further in the disassembly and re-assembly process.

I've decided that I really need either a good DVD or book with detailed (meaning lots of pictures) dis-assembly and re-assembly instructions. Any recommendations? The Wilson Combat manual for the 1911 is the best for assembly/dis assembly. It has photos for every step and shows exactly how to do it. Worth it's weight in gold. I also have the Kuhnhausen manuals since I do gunsmithing, but they have far more information that most people would need for routine disassembly and assembly for cleaning and maintenance.http://www.wilsoncombat.com/a_book_401.asp best $10 you'll ever spend.

Duane Thomas Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I agree with everything bountyhunter said. He just beat me to saying it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy in the video swept his hand several times before taking out a full mag from the gun. Do people ever go by the number 1 rule in firearms safety?
