I have been lurking for a while, liked what I have seen and decided to register. I would like to let everyone know, My spelling stinks and if there is a question let me know
Now to the question. I just bought a used Colt Ser. 80 1911 and the slide to frame fit is very loose. Is there a way that a person that is fairly good at using hand tools and has a well equiped home shop can tighten it just a little. Without getting out the mic. I would guess there is about .020-.035 slop in it. I don't mind a little wiggle but the klunk-klunk side to side woble has got to go.
Thanks Darkside
