Bob I've still gotta get Inwatd on the barrel; round won't feed & slide won't close completely. Place a camera on the gunsmiths working for long videos?🤔
I just stumbled onto your videos , these videos are so wonderful and helpful to everyone. Im a 1911 fan everyday of the week and this is what i needed. Sir you are doing such a great job. My training in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and physics drew me to your videos. This John Browning invention still reins in my opinion. Nobody will ever top it. Great job sir. Thank You
This was very helpful, thanks for the video! I’m in gunsmith school and building 2 1911s. Both are older used frames with nighthawk parts, what a nightmare! One of the many fitment issues was the chamber ramp was overhanging the feed ramp and I polished a little at a time before I watched this. But now that I’ve shortened it and reformed the ramp, it works.
Hard to believe our grandmothers made millions of 1911 pistols that ran pretty well while our grandfathers were overseas fighting bad guys during WWII. Our grandmothers did good.
The more I learn about the 1911 platform, the more I'm like, "how in the hell did they manufacture this weapon for WWII....not to mention WWI??!!!" Why did I go down this rabbit hole?!
They trained with them in boot camp and if there were malfunctions the armorer was right there and paid by the taxpayers. I built a 1911 and then another and another and I was asking that same question. I don't have the same illusions I had when I started, that's for sure.
It depends on the models, Pro-series Custom no. On the Freedom series, the frame, slide & barrel are all bar-stock and many other parts. the sear, disconnector & thumb safety are mim.

You should not have to purchase a 1911 and do this. Unfortunately on my Tisas 1911 B45, I had to do this to make my Tisas 45acp run 100%. After this, my Tisas 45 ran just as reliably as my Glock 21 45

Our pleasure! Thank you for your super comments and support!
We will be getting deeper on feeding on more videos coming soon. We will be going over all the common issues individually to give better focus.
Excellent video Bob and crew. I know this will answer a lot of questions. Take care, Vern
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the video Bob
Keep them coming
Thank you, More to come

Outstanding ! 👍
Thank you! 👍
Thanks for showing this. I have been working on a new barrel for 4 days. I should have gone to a gunsmith.
Thanks for joining in. Let us know if you need help.
Yep
Thanks for educational video
Great video, thanks for sharing. My most favourite firearm.
Thank you for joining in

Yes they did!! They knew what real work and sacrifice meant.
Thanks Gram!
I enjoyed looking back on this video 👍 Good stuff !
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for joining in
Love it thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great channel. Thanks
Thanks for watching! & thank you for the super comments!!
Thanks Bob 🔫😀👍🏼
Thank you for joining in and all your support!
Good information and thank you for your channel. Re the video, a cut away style sketch or drawing would be helpful.
Thanks for the idea! Glad you liked it
Does it do any good to high polish the feed ramp and throat of the barrel without changing the angles?
Sure, sometimes, each pistol , you have to evaluate what you have to work with and go from there. But, Polishing does sometime help.
So what happens if you have more than 1/32"? How does one close that gap?
If you are feeding OK just leave it be. Generally a bit more will not hurt.
The more I learn about the 1911 platform, the more I'm like, "how in the hell did they manufacture this weapon for WWII....not to mention WWI??!!!" Why did I go down this rabbit hole?!
That is a good topic though, Some history would make for great videos

Does Fusion use MIM and or cast parts in your 1911s??!!
It depends on the models, Pro-series Custom no. On the Freedom series, the frame, slide & barrel are all bar-stock and many other parts. the sear, disconnector & thumb safety are mim.
Use chromium silicone springs
No sanding filing or grinding for me , polish only
Unfortunately, depending on your bullet profile and barrel condition, just polishing will not work in all situations.
@@fusionfirearms I am referring to my Kimber Ultra Carry 3 inch thanks
It’s in excellent condition I’m considering getting a Tisas and upgrading it
As a machinist its hard to watch that barrel dug in the hard jaws of that vise.....
As a journeyman tool maker that has done 1000's of then this way. It just works out fine. Don't be worried.

All you basement boys pay attention keep the dremel away from the feed ramp and throat of the barrel unless you want to destroy
