I have a few questions for those who know a lot about the 1911.
>One, if the locking surfaces on the barrel or frame were too loose, what issues (symptoms) would this cause?
>Two, if the face on the rear of the extension that the barrel link lug were too "short" (front to back) or the slot in the frame was too "long" (causing a bigger gap), what issues/symptoms would that cause? Can it be "too tight"? Heck, is "too loose" even possible?
>Three, is it normal to see a mark (shiny/removed bluing) from the slide stop's shaft going across the front face of that barrel link lug? What would cause this?
>Would any of these stress the barrel link or the slide stop pin more than would be reasonable?
Keeping questions a little vague, I know, but I think I figured something out and I'm trying to stop anons from overthinking my questions, much like you tell a smith or mechanic the symptoms and don't put your thought of what is wrong in their head (and screw with their conclusions).
