If you buy a drop in kit, odds are you will at least have to adjust the sear spring and probably the trigger over travel. Unless you buy a drop in ignition kit, you WILL have to cut the sear and unless you have the knowledge and the tools to do so, they will not work.ģ. Most of the time you will need to fit them in some fashion.Ģ. There is NO such thing as drop in parts for a 1911. But here are a few things everyone should know before doing it yourself.ġ. Replacing the ignition parts would be a good idea. It works well for what it cost and I would compare it to anything under $1000. It is way better than my Colt and so far seems to be more accurate as well. Other than the MIM parts this has to be one of the best fitting 1911's I have owned. I am just not that comfortable with the technology yet.Īs I said before I wasn't having any problems with my American Classic II but I did it just to make sure I didn't have any failures down the road due to the MIM parts inside. MIM is the new way of making metal parts and there are plenty of other firearms makers, even big named ones, that are using MIM parts in their guns. All the parts I am replacing are the MIM parts. Not terribly expensive to replace all the parts with known quality pieces. The whole order which included the sear, a disconnect, a 4 finger spring (they normally have a 3 finger), a mainspring and a mainspring cap was only $47.13 shipped. My match sear cost me $17.50 thru Brownells. The best thing about 1911's is that parts are plentiful so fixing it is going to be cheap, even if you decide to pay for it yourself. Hopefully it isn't the hammer because I don't have a spare laying around I can loan. If you are close to Knoxville we can meet and I can install the sear for you as well as give the gun a once over. I do not want to take a chance on having a failure because mine is going to be used as a carry gun once I get a few more hundred rounds thru it.Īfter I get my new parts in mine, and they work, I can send you my old one to see if that fixes your problem. The sear is a MIM part which may last or it may not.
I wasn't having any issues with my recently purchased American Classic II but I bought a STI sear and disconnect (as well as a few other parts) just to make sure everything was good. I suspect you can buy the parts for about the same cost to ship it unless they are covering the shipping on warranty repairs, I don't know if they are. I have the number for a nice group of guys in Colorado that do repair work on the Metra Arms guns. They do have warranty centers you can send it in for repair.
