Norinco 1911 tune up?

[olek_Z_bc]

Hey guys, just wondering something.. a few years ago I bought a .45 norinco from Gunnar, I can't find him on the board.. sold the gun a few years ago also...

Anyhow, does any one know what he used to do to "tune up" the norincos he sold?

Thinking of getting one again and just curious.

Thanks.

Trigger job, fit the slide, it varied from gun to gun, depending on what it needed. All I know is, you can't have mine!

Armco is still around, but he's looking to retire and is just too busy to handle the volume brought by CGN. You should be able to get in touch with him.

I believe Gunnar's handle is "7X61".

This is what they do though according to an email he sent me:

Tighten and lap frame to slide (slightly different on plated guns), smooth
up breech face and underside of slide, prep and tune extractor, polish
inside of slide where top of barrel rubs, check and adjust thumb and grip
safeties as needed, remachine hammer and sear surfaces, polish disconnector
and set trigger pull to 4.5 - 5.0 lbs (crisp) or more if requested. We
function test with factory 230 grain ammo as well as 200 grain lead
semiwadcutter reloads, test fire with both types of ammo as well when it isn
't -40! Polish and throat the frame and barrel for feeding as required. We
check little stuff like making sure the grips fit snugly, and that plunger
housings are staked correctly.
