Colt made in 1918

You need to take more, detailed pics of this pistol and post them.

My 1918 is in pretty old condition, and has had some of the gov't markings removed. When I got it, it had many incorrect parts on it, including a WW2 Rand slide and Colt's barrel. After scrounging high and low this is what I've got. Luckily the lack of finish on the new slide is reasonably close to the frame.

Here is mine. I need to find a new trigger. I hate the ridges/serration that chew my finger up.

Took several hours but turned that back into this:

Nice, the basic S70 is one of my favorite pistols of all time.

[Mexican Kerry]

LOL!



Took several hours but turned that back into this:

I'm guessing most of that time was spent screwing with the sear depressor assembly. First time I took my old NM apart I couldn't figure out how to get the pieces back together.

So Pops didn't want to take this out of the safe today for me to get "awesome" pictures of this gun, but he did send me the following shots of it he took a while back. It's a Kimber that gave it's life as donor for a full-on custom build from the president of the American Pistolsmiths Guild, Marc Morganti. (Gemini Customs)

He actually lives in Frankfort, and right before he blew up, he built this for Pops. I'm pretty sure he's backlogged for YEARS now!

It's a 357 Sig 1911!

Yep. 99% of the time was screwing with this one single contraption.



And getting it all lined up in place.



Never again will I take a 70 series gold cup sear assembly apart!

I can FINALLY contribute to this thread!!! My first 1911... A Dan Wesson Pointman. In the original grips and one in VZ grips.

Not that bad if you have to do it again Mike. The worst part is not knowing they are there the first time you strip it apart! Looks like you got lucky and didn't lose the spring (it can go for a trip across the room if you're not careful). Like your pic shows, you have to re assemble the pieces before installing in the pistol. What works well is to use the hammer strut pin as a slave pin, then drop the sear assembly back in the frame. You then drift out the slave pin with the proper sear pin, and done. And its not JUST the S70 Gold Cups, the earlier NM like my .38 mid range also used this system.

Some people say they simply deleted the depressor pieces so they wouldn't have to mess with them, but if you decide to do that you should do some research first. There are differing opinions on the wisdom of this.

Looks awesome... I love the feel of my 1911 VZ grips!
