Ashy Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Wonder no more! Stripped it down as far as I needed to to be able to spray it properly (So basically, about 95% broken down ?). Will I ever get it sprayed and put back together? Place your bets! ?

If you're anything like me you'll get it primed then put it in a box for the next 2 years telling yourself you really need to get it finished

I've not even decided on a paintjob yet. Thought breaking it down might spark some inspiration.
Macv276 Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 If you need any help, shout. 1911s are fairly straightforward to assemble but there are a couple of things you can get hung up on

Already lost a spring by not paying enough attention. Luckily I have, like any sensible person should, many boxes of nuts/bolts/screws/washers/springs etc, accumulated over the years for exactly this purpose ?
heroshark Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 No, never. And I'd be thankful if you never showed me it again. I would like to see what a tortoise looks like though please.

heroshark Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Well that was one way to de-rail a thread. My work is done here.
