I recently purchased a Michigan Armament 1911. It has standard 1911 parts mostly.
I took it apart to clean it and now I cannot get the parts back together.
I put the slide and everything back together, but I cannot get the slide lock mechinism back in.
I know that the insides are centered correctly, becuase I can turn the mechinism and the pin will go in all the way.
When I put the mechinism back up and try to slide it into the slot where it belongs, it will not go in all the way. It is still sticking out about 1/8 inch from where it belongs.
It snaps in that far, but will not go into the hole that is cut out on the frame correctly.
Is there a trick to getting this in the hole. I have been working with it and have tried about 10 times to snap it all the way in, but it will not go. I have tried pushing it in several ways.:banghead:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
