CM sent me pictures of the Slide/Frame for the 1911 Legacy build. The slide is a work of art...........when CM and AllenM get together and build a 1911 I must say that Baer/Wilson/Nighthawk could do no better...

Sounds like it will be a fine piece. Can't wait to see it all done!

I was just on the GunSprings.com site and ordered a recoil calibration pack for the gun. It comes with 3 extra power FP springs, which explains the pack of 3 extra power springs that came in the case. Somewhere in this guns past, someone went down this same path but at some point, the recoil spring was replaced with a very light spring. We'll have to see how this impacts the function, but the gun sure does like a heavier spring than what was in it.

Morning all...

Slept like crap and my back is killing me this morning. Yay.

Sounds awesome Chris! I'm with Canter, can't wait to see the end results!

Morning folks!

Honestly, the only difference between AllenM and CM's abilities with a 1911 as compared to Wilson, Brown or others is just the production capacity. The quality is the same, but they just cannot turn out guns by the thousands (yet).

Morning everyone.

Morning BA!

Glad to hear the fotay acted better.

Here's a question to the masses: If I go with an extra power recoil spring, should I be concerned about the reduced power firing pin spring in the gun? And, if I remove the reduced power FP spring, might I need to increase the rate of the hammer spring? I'm thinking that if I end up running the heavier recoil springs, I need to load two rounds, shoot a round and then check round 2 for marks on the primer. If I do that a handful of times and see no evidence of the primer being touched when the slide slams forward, I should be fine. What do you guys think?

Thanks. I think I needed a couple of days away from the gun to cool off. I was ready to chuck it into Eagle Creek on Friday. Now that I got a clean 25 rounds through it, I really like the feel.

Morning CM.

ChrisK's gun is going to be pretty slick if I do not screw it up.

I have all of the faith in the world that you will do a perfect job. And good morning to all...
Busy day today, I have three 5 stage dump truck cylinders to reseal and a stabilizer cylinder to finish....

You have a solid track record. No reason this one will be anything but excellent CM.

Thanks. I tend to forget that the expert himself is willing and available for questions.

He's very good about it.
