According to Drake Oldham, author of “The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide,” should the lock rotate, the bevel will “vector a component of the spring force into a counterclockwise rotation” thereby keeping the lock in its locked position.
Then, prep the magazine-catch lock by lightly beveling the leading edge of the “tab” of the magazine-catch lock. Conversely, fitting and installing the trigger first adds another part to the mix and the potential for magazines to bind on the trigger bow, thus complicating the fitting process unnecessarily.Īlso, don’t forget to purchase a magazine-catch spring and a magazine-catch lock, because generally the three parts are not sold together and such an oversight can be quite frustrating, not to mention delay your build.Īs it is, the three parts will work fine unaltered, however, with slight modification you can improve its range of motion and cause magazines to fall freely under their own weight once the magazine-release is depressed.īegin by breaking out the jeweler’s files and magnifiers. Note: While many of you may be wondering why I didn’t choose to install the trigger first, in addition to serving as a means of stopping a trigger’s travel choosing to install the magazine catch (AKA magazine release) first assures magazines drop freely once it’s properly fitting and installed.
