I have a .45 Rock Island 1911 that a friend dropped off to me with the firing pin retaining slide(?) not allowing the firing pin to go back to it's "normal" position.
With the firing pin out, the pin fits the hole in the retaining slide, however when I put everything back together, the pin does not protrude through the back?????
I very gently tapped the firing pin to "make it fit", however the firing pin does not move freely.
He has stated that it worked just fine, until he took it apart and was trying to put everything back together. I looked at the parts schematic and I know I am putting it back correctly and there are no missing parts!
Any thoughts??????????????????
