Picture-heavy (but non-video) 1911 dis-assembly?

[boomer49]

Hi guys,

Could somebody please suggest a link to a website that offers a good 1911 take-down / cleaning / re-assembly guide with clear instructions and lots of photos? I am a certified klutz and need all the guidance possible, but I only have really slow wilderness dial-up ... which mean video is a non-starter.

Many thanks.

It seems Trinimon's suggestion covers it as well but this is also a good one from Hilton Yam of 10-8.

Trinamon & Sambaru,

Major thanks for the suggestions ... I'll check 'em out in the morning

10 cm of rain in the forecast for the next three/four days ... a good time to put on the safety glasses and light a fire ... and do something (for me) challenging.
