The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide Walt Kuleck

The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide, Volume 2,"

by Walt Kuleck and Drake Oldham

Everyone knows how to disassemble and reassemble a Model 1911­type pistol. Or think they do. When I had my own gun store some years back, I lost track of the number of John Browning’s pistols that were brought to me in a box to put back together. And even those who may know how, seldom do it properly and the result is a collection of ill­fitting parts that wear faster than they should and malfunction far to often. The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide not only teaches the correct way to disassemble and reassemble any Model 1911, but how to improve the old warhorse.

   Thinking of repairing Grandad’s World War II Remington Rand or “customizing” your Colt Series 80? Or perhaps you have a new pistol from one of the dozens of manufacturers now producing variations of the Model 1911. Or perhaps you are thinking of building one from scratch. If so, then Walt Kuleck and Drake Oldham, who between them have more than fifty years experience with building and caring for Model 1911­type pistols for civilians and police forces, take you through the process step­by­step. Like The M1911 Complete Owner’s Guide, Volume 1, Volume 2 should be on the bookshelf of every professed Model 1911 collector and shooter.
