Watch Tower 1911 Apache

[Popav]

It broke.. Second time out box
I'm sure they warranty it.but I have no idea how to break it down..I'm sure it's the sear.. hammer following the slide. Want lock back ..any suggestions?

 

[MacEntyre]

Hammer following the slide and won't lock back sounds like two different problems... unless the slide never goes back far enough to engage the sear or lock the slide. This is the kind of 1911 that @John Travis doesn't like to mess with. But I would like to know his thinking if you were having these problems with a vintage Colt.

Did you find these problems by firing the gun, or by operating the slide manually?

It probably breaks down just like any 1911. John has some good videos on takedown.

Also, if you want to make a good friend, and learn from an old guy, see if @BatteryOaksBilly is willing to help you. He is in Conway.

Does the hammer follow the slide when you fire the gun...or when you release the slide to chamber a round?

I think OP may have landed his question in the wrong sub forum as he has been a member since 2018.

Perhaps it should moved to the handguns section where more people would see it.

@John Travis has forgotten more about the 1911 platfrom than I will ever know.

 

[MacEntyre]

I wish the OP would answer John's questions so we can absorb a bit more of his knowledge.

Oh my dayum.....that makes a stippled Glock look handsome.

Sorry it's broke but dayum...

The OP hasn’t been back since asking for help.

@Popav did you see this question?

I think that means the OP doesn't think there is any distinction between the hammer following the slide when he fires the gun, verses when he releases the slide to chamber a round.

Mebbe he did one. Mebbe he did t'other. Mebbe he did both.

Mebbe he doesn’t really know who is asking the question, not that it should necessarily matter
