This is a long video, but if you want to learn about vintage 1911s (this video could easily apply to many modern 1911s) it is worth a watch. During the reassembly of the .45 acp 1911 I got one of the Gopro angles off by about 1.5 seconds. Sorry.

I am 36 minutes in and I am greatly impressed by your obvious knowledge and passion. Great video - more of these please.

@enricomandragona163 5 месяцев назад

Very nice video! I recently bought from an estate sale 1944 Ithaca in all original condition and the owners grandfather was in the Air corps. The gun never went through rearmoring. The frame doesn't even have JCA cartoosh by the mag release. I just did a complete rebuild of the gun as you did however i used varsal to clean the frame and slide and blew dry them. For safety all the springs were replaced as well as the firing pin and the extractor as it was damaged. You didn't mention anything about the extractor adjustment? Again great video i just subscribed ✌️👍

Very detailed and in depth video nice job Ray!!!

@shouldibehere 12 лет назад

Very interesting. It's obvious you know what you are doing. Id be interested in seeing something like this with an FN1900. They are historically significant pistols. Thanks for putting this together.

@MrEnferno336 12 лет назад

THIS!!! This is what I want to become. I plan to go to school to become a gunsmith. I LOVED this video! I would love to see more stuff like this.

@ShawnScaggs 12 лет назад

Was only about half way through the video when I commented. Best 1911 disassembly and reassembly video on RU-vid!

@AKJeeper 12 лет назад

Do you guys ever come across any SIG P226's where the grip screw threads in the frame are stripped out? I've never taken the grips off my P226 (W. German mfg'd) and one day they started coming loose after shooting it. On closer inspection, the screws appeared to be OK, but the threads on the frame came out w/ the screws like the screws had been overtightened or something. Any chance you could post up a repair of this sort?

@videodistro 10 лет назад

Thank you, Ray. I really appreciate this video. I also appreciate your intelligent vocabulary and grammar. Not something you always see on many RU-vid videos. Informative and helpful.

@johnathenstommel6196 7 лет назад

This video hopefully will come in handy for me due to the fact that the CMP is hopefully going to allow the shipment of the surplus 1911's in if that dose happen me and a good friend of mine will be getting 1 a piece thank you Ray for this video Sr

@amelierenoncule 8 лет назад

One finds it curious (moi, that's who) that neither weapon showed any barrel corrosion/pitting, of any degree, if they were not cleaned in decades. Wish he would have touched on that aspect...or ERIC had captured some 'bore footage'. Or did I blink & miss both?

@NerdGlassGamingPA 8 лет назад

I will just speculate that they didn't have any. Because in the beginning he said that they were taken care of but not really well and proper maintaining. So I presume ( since he has been shooting the guns too ) He just cleaned the bore and few other parts but never opened the interior of the guns that much. That's why they were clean in the barrel section.

@126lma 12 лет назад

A guide to like this for the Walther p38 would be good!

@brutallyhonestmf5578 6 лет назад

Beautiful handgun. But I will never own one. Too many parts!!! lol

@easterriot1916 10 лет назад

Thank you, great work. A couple of questions. What would be the next step for a pistol like this? Does one refinish it in any way? The grip panels, is there any way to , in a lack of a better word "reenergize them? Ray mentioned possible dryrot and oildamage. Also the firingpinspring, for a piece like this, does one look for new old stock?

@Chris090883 12 лет назад

I wish I could have you guys reblue my Remington 1100 it needs some loving, most places around here want an arm and a leg and would make a hell of a video for you guys. How about a Remington Speedmaster 241 (the one that charges and ejects from the bottom) I got a few issues with it and can't seem to get it to run right no matter what I put in it.

@TheNLHAZE 2 года назад

Great video I would like to ask what type of cleaning solution you are using in your ultrasonic cleaner and how hot do you get your water thanks in advance for your time and answer again I very much appreciate this video it was very detailed and extremely helpful to us young people I do understand that this video is 9 years old I sincerely hope you do respond have a great evening and thanks for your time and God bless you and your family.

@DevilMousey 11 лет назад

i would love to see more in depth maintenance videos like this. You guys can focus on common firearms such as glocks, rugers, ARs, AKs. I think this video hits the spot. More of it would be awesome.

@bmanowske 12 лет назад

Thanks Eric! I have an Outers Electrochemical system that just won't do the job! I do CAS Wild Bunch with it and use all lead all the time about 300 rounds a month!

@TheBrando228 2 года назад

Still coming back to this vid in 2022, would love to see Ray make a come back! Love your vids guys !

@RobertELee420 12 лет назад

I need this type of vid for my Mossberg 464 30-30. Im prob the only one to request it so I understand if yall dont do it. :) Excellent vid bud, I learned alot and very much appreciate you taking the time to do vids like this. MANY THANKS!

@johnm.ungerleider5870 7 лет назад

More of this guy. Coolest video ever

@ilovepotatos Год назад

FG42, G43 technical analysis by your guys in Southern USA🇺🇸

@RobertELee420 12 лет назад

I wonder how a Glock will look after 99+ years and who knows what kind of battle conditions. Ill have to write that in my will for my son to check out :P

@MrPuddnhead 12 лет назад

Excellent video. Thank you very much for taking the time to make it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a few things I didn't know. You mentioned you'd consider doing other guns if we asked and they were interesting. Would you consider doing a detailed video like this on the Winchester Model 88? I have one that was made in 1955. It could definitelt stand a detailed takedown and cleaning like you show here.

@mutineerlpm 12 лет назад

Terrific video for all of us novice 1911 owners, especially with the differrent tricks or tips shown. I'm interested in the spray lubricant used, didn't catch the complete name. Also for a suggestion on other bench gunsmithing videos, how about one on pump shotguns as far as a detail takedown for maintenance/cleaning. I own: Winchester Model 12, Mossberg 500(special purpose) and an Ithaca Model 37 Featheweight. Again thanks for all these great vids. Stay cool, fly low, check six....mutineerlpm

@bmanowske 12 лет назад

Can you do a vid on lead removal in an old 1911 like these? Or atleast offer a suggestion on doing so!

@thesuperfan99 12 лет назад

Incredible video, loved every second! Cheers to you Ray and the moss pawn crew. At the begining when removing the grips it was mentioned that they were at least partially saturated with old oils etc. Would baking the grips have been in order? Or was it too risky in this case due to its antique nature? Again excellent video, would love to be a gunsmith someday.

@The_Austin_Doell 12 лет назад

do you guys have any of the tokarev designed TT pistols if you do i would love to see a video on them i was thinking of buying one

@oOoSorrowoOo 12 лет назад

I got a LLAMA 7 mm 1911. has anybody ever used one of these? i cleaned the whole gun i cannot open the main spring housing, and i am sure it is extremely rusty inside. if anybody cal help i would appreciate it. (the pen seems to be welded or something i'm not an expert)

@nathanatramp 12 лет назад

I'm massively interested in videos like this. Thanks for doing it. If you don't mind, could you do a size-by-side takedown of an AR in 5.56 and on in either 6.8 SPC or 6.5 Grendel? I'd like to know more about the differences in gas-capture, bolt weights/ dimensions, and recoil spring differences.

@balancedfordaylight1 12 лет назад

would like to see a video on smith and wesson revolvers like correcting for excessive barrel cylinder gap recutting crown, forcing cone maybe reaming chambers and dissassembly ect ect maybe one day ill drop off my model 15 great videos btw

@openmypackage 12 лет назад

I like to see you do a WWII M1 Carbine. I have new springs ordered for mine and I am wondering what else I should replace while I am at it. I had a few ejection problems on different mags last time I took it out.

@dcm426 12 лет назад

The first person part was really cool. You guys should shoot guns from first person. It would look really cool and allow us noguns(NYC sucks, Bitchberg's fault) to experience what you experience, if only partially.

@jergensenC6 12 лет назад

Great video. The best I have seen on complete take down of a 1911. I would love to see a complete take down of a Beretta 92/M9. I have no idea how to remove the firing pin and extractor of my 92FS .

@enryuxzero 12 лет назад

i wish i was able to go shoot a 1911 they fasinate me, they hae so many small parts so while the operation is simple the internals are rather complex and they look so beautyful

@depoeslew1 12 лет назад

I like the comment, " the lawyers decided to put a firing pin safety into the design"... them damn lawyers!!!

@29692966 12 лет назад

Nice vid ray. Can u show a compleat tear down on a h&k usp compact.& how to move the safety form left to right. Yes I know I'm a lefty. Thanks. God bless moss pawn.

@BigSwede7403 12 лет назад

1 hour of a guy doing maintainance on a pistol. Some would call it a waste of time. I call it information and tuition that you would normaly would have to pay for. *Hat off*

@ColdDayInHell 12 лет назад

Damn he really knows what he's doing. This is why Iraqveteran8888 is my fav. channel.

@fishlanding 12 лет назад

What a great video, thank you for taking the time to put this together and to add some insight and feel to what your doing....... can't wait for the next one.....

@bigjohn75 12 лет назад

i would love to see a vid on the 38 supper i dont know why i love this gun i have never owned one im looking for a old colt to rebuild for a every day shooter

@cybrough 12 лет назад

Thank you for this excellent video! What was that lube that you used and is that the only lube you would use on a gun that is fired often and carried daily?

@jango565 12 лет назад

had a shitty day at work and i come home to an hour long IV8888 vid things just got alot better. keep up the great work guys! thanks for all the effort you put in!

@RobertELee420 12 лет назад

I hear ya, I like Glocks and 1911s I was seriously curious how Glocks will hold up 100 years later.

@Mockmort 12 лет назад

Thanks for this video, guys. The other guys getting more into the youtube thing is great and I hope it's as enriching for them as it is for us.

@bullss21 12 лет назад

I have a 1911 on my nightstand at night (Rock Island Armory). Don't worry friend, while I like Glocks, I'm a 1911 man, always will be. : )

@SmittyHollaAtYoBoy 12 лет назад

Greatest video I've seen Colt 1911 related.

@JaySdt 12 лет назад

I've got nothing but good thoughts about you guys, I like seeing new collegues of Moss popping up on the channel. I'll be watching ;)

@potymouf1 12 лет назад

you guys are starting to get into the realm of nutnfancy with the camera to the head lol

@anthraxjm 12 лет назад

Already excited, this is one of the most respectable and professional channels on all of RU-vid, no matter what the subject.

@drojas2129 12 лет назад

Very good and informative video. Is there any possibility to prepare a video similar to this one but referring to revolvers?

@XxMrLimeyxX 12 лет назад

Thank you so much for this!!! I don't even own a 1911 but now i know a bit more, Now i got to get me one of those bad boys.

@chemech 12 лет назад

It would have been nice if at least one of the cameras had been zoomed in tight such that the details would be visible

@Solingen1000 12 лет назад

I dont have a 1911....but i can clean my 92fs....I think you guys just indirectly cleaned like 1000 handguns lol

@Jmav91 12 лет назад

Can you say beast ? I have an series 80 1991a1 could you show how the firing pin safety gets the extractor out

@BigFun4Life 12 лет назад

Great video,and some sweet classics.

@sasquatch4liffee 12 лет назад

What kind of ultrasonic did you use? I'm assuming one a little higher end than the one from harbor freight

@TheBigez78 12 лет назад

how about a trigger job on a S&W Sigma. I've seen other videos in it and would like to get your take.

@teeroux 12 лет назад

I like to clamp a punch in the vise and push the mainspring plunger against the punch to compress it.

@bullss21 12 лет назад

It's probably going to take only five minutes. LOL Glocks are easier to maintain than 1911's right?

@y1t2m3f4 12 лет назад

These are the Best: hands on gunsmithing. Thanks IV8 & RU-vid!

@misterexponential 3 года назад

Wow, and I was satisfied with using 10W30 and an ear swab.

@NaxTactical 12 лет назад

I haven't even watched it yet, but already know this will be 1h of quality YT. Thank you.

@307cass 6 лет назад

Great in depth video. Can you please give the name of the spray lube you used after the cleaning? Thank you.

@bigdadybancroft 12 лет назад

great vid what about a trigger job on a 1911 ? just a thought keep up the great work

@chemech 12 лет назад

and no, while the views during reassembly were better, they still lacked definition...

@scarmenl 12 лет назад

What brand is your vice? Did you custom it at all? Great video please keep them up.

@Biker_Gremling 12 лет назад

Much better than the AGI stuff, also for free. Thank you very much for the video.

@SimulantSlumber 12 лет назад

Did you mean to make the face out of parts at 0:34:00 or was it an accident? :P

@dicekar 12 лет назад

I dont even own a 1911 but i still watched it and feel i gained a lot from it

@1958trickyricky 12 лет назад

if i get evrything apart what will it cost to get them together again lol

@Briggs1700 12 лет назад

Ah, interesting. Just herited one, now I can check it thoroughly. THNX!

@MrHottleaded 12 лет назад

the 1913 M1911 is one gem of gun. the 1913 is sexier than a new m1911.

@Marine53E 12 лет назад

To go with the era, a video on the Springfield 1903 would be awesome!

@OldPackMule 12 лет назад

Ray, thanks. Another great video from the great crew at Moss Pawn.

@A.J.Collins 12 лет назад

Did you give the rock that was in the trigger back to the owner?

@grease82monkey 12 лет назад

Loved the video you make look so easy thanks and they look great

@kuva07 12 лет назад

What did the bore look like after going through the ultrasonic?

@WAFFENSS69 12 лет назад

ssssh we want them o keep posting on youtube.

@Mossy500A 12 лет назад

FPG- First-Person Gunsmithing. Cool head cam.

@TheTato1219 12 лет назад

It's crazy all the info that gunsmiths can retain in their head

@metalraider187 12 лет назад

anyone else get that HSUS lawyer commercial before the video?

@matthewmillar3804 11 лет назад

Fantastic video! Very informative. How do original military or other early 1911's compare with modern 1911's (even guns made to resemble issue guns) in terms of assembly/disassembly/basic function? Would you do an in-depth video on the difference between series 70 and series 80 guns (and i hear Kimbers are different than both. . . )? Or perhaps common DIY work that can be done to my R1? ;)
