Cigars are bad for your health ! So sayeth CHUCK.
Good morning to all.
That's perfect. I think I have everything I "need". I'll take a good inventory tonight.1911 tools needed for full disassembly. This assumes you want to completely strip the frame and slide. This does not include tools for sights and grip screw bushings, as those are not generally removed for a full detail cleaning.
- Screwdriver or bit for grip screws (should be flat head, torx, allen)
- Screwdriver or bit for mag release screw (should be small flat head, dremel wrench/blade tool works also)
- Barrel bushing wrench (only needed if you have a tightly fit bushing)
- Tool to push safety plunger in while reinstalling thumb safety (10-8 performance makes a nice tool, a toothbrush widdled down to 3/32" works also, something thin/non-marring/stiff)
- 5/32 roll pin punch for mainspring housing pin and firing pin stop plate removal.
- Small hammer with brass/delrin head (or brass and non-marring). This can be needed at times with above roll pin punch on mainspring housing pin.
- Brass punch to push extractor out with (around 7/32" or so should be beefy enough). The 10-8 performance tool has a wedge end that can work for this too. You're pushing on the claw end, so something non-steel is best. Same tool can work for the other end of extractor to pull out of the extractor tunnel.
- Small punch to "push" the sear/disco and hammer pins out, something 3/32" or smaller. Just about anything will work, they are not a press fit. Even a pen tip would work.
- Small needle nose pliers for reinstalling disco and sear together. Not required, but that's how I currently do it. Allen may have a better way to do it. The pliers method still requires some fiddling, so it isn't perfect.
- Thin non-marring wedge to aid in thumb safety removal. Not required, but very helpful. I bought a big assortment on Amazon for cheap, think they're technically for nail salon work.
- Small bench block, optional.
Tools on left are required. Tools on right are technically optional, but they really make the process much easier and faster.

Let me know when you're ready to get into the good stuff, that's when all the fun begins.That's perfect. I think I have everything I "need". I'll take a good inventory tonight.
Thank you, sir.
I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking. @T-DOGG Thanks for the detailed answer.May be a dumb question..
I'm wondering if we need to bring any tools, etc, with us on Saturday?
Not sure, but those suction poses seem awfully suggestive .

Sometimes.
As far as the list goes, I only have the bushing tool, screw drivers, bits and basic steel punches. I may need to borrow some things.
If it’s just for gaming I would just get him a new Xbox. Fortnight is free for the Xbox. They are awesome in 4K on a 4K TV.Ok, tech experts, I need some help.
Grandson's laptop most likely fried (board toasted at power supply input).
Any help with a "bang-for-buck" desktop for a 14 year old geared towards online gaming like Fortnight?
Not sure....I will inquire further. I don't believe PS or Xbox was the "preferred" platform. My guess would be because it is easier to cheat on a PC?If it’s just for gaming I would just get him a new Xbox. Fortnight is free for the Xbox. They are awesome in 4K on a 4K TV.

Ugh. Another thing for me to feel guilty about I guess. Know what I do when I feel guilty about something? I light a cigar and dump 2 fingers of Nikka in a glass.Cigars are bad for your health ! So sayeth CHUCK.
