My GSG 1911 build

[DILLIGAF]

So Far I changed the mainspring housing to a flat one.... Got some HEX screws from Fusion Firearms. Next will be a SS gide Rod thats a bit longer... And Thanks to jporietis I have a GI safety on the way.

I also just cancelled my adjustable sight order... I think I will go with the Novak Style Green Fiber Optic rear and red front... Still not sure...

Let me know what you think

thanks

you want a GI style thumb saftey, take a look at brownells. I got one from them maybe half a year or so ago and with everything it was like 65$

Looks good, does the GSG take a standard flat 1911 mainspring housing?

 

[dinhulks]

Which is more reliable?
The GSG or the Para?

 

[DILLIGAF]

I think I found my sights

Yup... I did buy a new Retaining pin since the GSG pin wont fit... But all the other parts swaped no problem...

Well They both work fine... Dont jinx it...

Are they drop in or have to be fitted?

 

[DILLIGAF]

I will have to fit them... But there is no fun in drop in...

 

[polaris]

what's the deal with all the scratches on the dustcover?

 

[jporietis]

I just got those sights for my CZ---They look good and seem to work well. I managed to get a drop in set

I'm curious too...I bought mine used and it is marked like this as well. Mine isn't scratched though,more like poor QC on the finish Is this a "thing" with GSG? Holster wear perhaps?

This is quite common with what I've seen so far, with mine and 3 other owners.
They too have the same wear marks on the slide.

The finishing on the gsg SUCKS! but other than that everything else is top notch. (Sights could be better but what you do expect from a 400dollar gun.)

I might send it in to get a coating...

I will be gone for 6 month to kuwait in december if all goes well...so Im thinking of sending alot of my guns to get worked on...

Here is the updated S/S guide rod

 

[DILLIGAF]

Well I got my GI safety.... So far my GSG is looking better...

Im still waiting on my new sights to complete this build... then it will be either Arma-Coat or Parkerized I haven't decided yet...

Like a number of 1911's , if the dustcover on the front of the frame is a little tight or has some burrs on the inside, the slide will rub on them as it goes back & forth & wear off the finish.
I remove a small amount of metal of the top inside of the dust covers to eliminate the problem.
