    I used a basic Aero Precision FA that came with their dust cover. I didn’t end up using the dust cover but have no issue with the FA. $18.99 at Brownells. Not sure if they have it available separately.

    Always interested in USGI M1911/M1911A1 Colt, Ithaca, Rem. Rand, US&S, Rem. UMC, Springfield Armory, etc... pistols or parts.

    Did you try pushing the upper back into the receiver? Mine are tight and have to push fairly hard to get the pivot pin in.

    Yes, everything on this receiver set is ridiculously tight. The mag release is super tight, the gas tube hole is super tight, the safety selector is super tight, etc. At least there's no play between uppers.

    You're gonna need lots of oil and probably a replacement pivot pin for when you wear through the first one.

    Compared to the SLR the MS is loose. If I'd do it again I'd buy two MS sets. They are tight but are workable. Slr with the thick cerakote is ridiculous. My Midwest industries upper rod won't even fit and all the pin holes need cleaned before any pins are installed.

    Yeah I think I've got to break it in, would totally agree she is tight like a tiger. Hopefully just needs to be broken in a bit. At least it's on and the pin comes out with some extra effort....went in easier the second time hopefully that trend continues.

    Anodizing will add a tiny bit to every dimension so pin holes could be decreased in diameter by 1/2 a thou which given the tight tolerances ATRS keeps is possibly your problem. CeraKote adds about 2 thousanths so can cause some problems if the holes are not plugged when the coating is applied.
