Today I picked up my brand new Springfield 1911 GI. I disassembled it with no problem, in order to clean it up. Then I went to reassemble it, and the dang "slide stop" was tough to get in. It felt like it was hung up on the slide, but it wasnt. I have no idea what the problem was. After messing with it for about a 1/2 hour, I finally got it to slide in.
Is this normal? Does something loosen up after its broke in, making reassembly easier?
This really irritated me, because in the process, with oily hands, the slide stop spun around and scratched the brand new stainless steel slide. Needless to say, I'm not happy.
