Hello - I want to adjust my sear spring and need to remove the MSH from an SA 1911 that has the Internal Lock System. I did this once before on my other SA, but seem to recall I had to do something extra before just tapping out the bottom pin and pulling the MSH out.
If I recall correctly, unless I do that extra step, the mainspring will fly out because of the ILS.
But I cannot remember the extra step. I thought I had a Youtube video saved, but cannot find it.
Can someone fill me in, or direct me to a video that is specific to the SA 1911 with ILS?
Thanks
ADDENDUM: Soon after posting this, I think I found the answer. I believe the step I was missing is to cock the hammer and insert the SA MSH disassembly “pin” (little L-shaped pin) into the hole in the factory MSH. That's the step that is different from other brands of 1911 because of the ILS and that extra hole. Am I correct?
