1911 Tuner- Tapping the mallet on the end of the slide worked!! The culprit looked to be the barrel link pin. It had worked itself over a hair. I tried to tap it back over with no luck, so I pulled out the dremel and made it good. Is it common for the link pin to do this? Thanks again.

remingtonfoxx I am having the same problem you were re: the slide not coming off the frame and wanted to know if you were ever able to remedy this issue. If so, how did you do it? Thanks
