1911 Feeding (Ep. 2) | Barrel Throating | Feed Ramp Clearance |

In this video we will go over the process that involves proper feeding from the feed ramp into the barrel throat. This is a Critical step and involves some hand skills but with attention to detail and a little time this video should help you solve this issue. Thanks for watching and as always have a great day from the Fusion Firearms Family!!!

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.

[@fusionfirearms]

Yes they did!! They knew what real work and sacrifice meant.

[@snowgorilla9789]

Sorry but the smiley faces are those of us who are watching and learning from your excellent videos. Thank you and you team

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?🤔

[@fusionfirearms]

Our pleasure! Thank you for your super comments and support!

[@fusionfirearms]

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.

[@flea-kh7om]

Excellent video Bob and crew. I know this will answer a lot of questions. Take care, Vern

[@fusionfirearms]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mooseass1753]

Thanks for showing this. I have been working on a new barrel for 4 days. I should have gone to a gunsmith.

My pleasure

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

[@fusionfirearms]

Welcome aboard! Thank you for the super comments!

Outstanding ! 👍

Thank you! 👍

[@domenickalaski4086]

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.

[@fusionfirearms]

Glad it was helpful! Keep up the good learning!

Good information and thank you for your channel. Re the video, a cut away style sketch or drawing would be helpful.

[@fusionfirearms]

Thanks for the idea! Glad you liked it

[@jamesalexander7398]

Love it thanks

[@fusionfirearms]

You’re welcome 😊

[@hoosiered471]

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?!

[@fusionfirearms]

That is a good topic though, Some history would make for great videos
Thanks for joining in.

[@bertkilborne6464]

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.

[@jamestucker7513]

Great video.

[@fusionfirearms]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@g24thinf]

Does it do any good to high polish the feed ramp and throat of the barrel without changing the angles?

[@fusionfirearms]

Sure, sometimes, each pistol , you have to evaluate what you have to work with and go from there. But, Polishing does sometime help.

[@vettepicking]

As a machinist its hard to watch that barrel dug in the hard jaws of that vise.....

[@fusionfirearms]

As a journeyman tool maker that has done 1000's of then this way. It just works out fine. Don't be worried.

[@vettepicking]

@@fusionfirearms first thing a machinist does is make a set of soft jaws with vee grooves in them to hold round items for their bench vise. Never a serrated jaw, we are not plumbers...

[@willraven7]

Does Fusion use MIM and or cast parts in your 1911s??!!

[@fusionfirearms]

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.

[@romeovalverde9434]

So what happens if you have more than 1/32"? How does one close that gap?

[@fusionfirearms]

If you are feeding OK just leave it be. Generally a bit more will not hurt.
