Stealth Arms 80% 1911 No Mill Needed w/ Promo Code

Do we need to register these with the state after they are built ? Was there something in SB281 to that effect ? I'm pretty sure there was something about registering your handguns if you moved here after the law passed did that part of the law survive ? There was a time when I could remember all this BS guess i'm getting old :sad20:

That is the point of an 80% build, No need to register something you manufacture. Registering only applies to the purchasing. The ATF has information about it on its website. The only thing I think you have issues with is 80% AR-15's that are built into banned configuration which to my understanding is illegal so 80% can only be built into pistol or HBAR unless it was manufactured/built before OCT 2013

I didn't go yesterday I "thought" I was getting over the flu, but woke up yesterday morning coughing up all sorts of gunk. Dr this morning, range next weekend.

At least it seems to launch pencils across the room pretty well!

I hear what your saying about the sickness. I wake up feeling like I might be over it and then it knocks me back down. Hang in there. I think I might be almost over it , this time. Thanks for posting all the info on your build, I've been enjoying it.

I just finished a second build using the same RIA kit that mhemling33 used. Mine wasn't quite as drop in as his though.

I needed to file flush the hammer strut pin; file and fit the ejector to the slide; polish and fit the grip safety; and an AWFUL LOT of work getting the barrel & slide to unlock properly.

Did you break the edges on the barrel locking lugs? That may be why you were having issues with it unlocking. FWIW.

Thank you for the tip. I have, but seem to need to do a bit more. It unlocks every time if I pull slightly up on the slide, or pull the hammer back first. It definitely needs a bit more to make it unlock smoothly.

Do you know how to determine if you have the proper length link? If not, I can tell you how.

Regards,

John

If you would please, that would be great. I am sure that a couple of us here could use the help.

Anyone know Where can I find a set of grip screw bushings locally ? Mine are back ordered from sarco and I got ants in the pants to finish my build.

Not really local, but they seem to have them in stock:

the mailman just dropped off my back ordered grip screw bushings. As of last tuesday sarco still said they were back ordered. hopefully yours come today too.

Hopefully you do better than I did with my bushings from Sarco. One didn't have threading. Took between 2-3 weeks for them to send me a replacement of an in stock item.

j_h_smith · Apr 25, 2015

Wow, that's crazy. On both parts...

Yeah, I'm not surprised. The GI kit I received from them needed an awful lot ot tweaking. Even the magazine wouldn't lock in to a factory 1911 I had. I ended up having to take a file to the magazine and open up the mag catch hole a bit forward and towards the top, in order to make it latch in place. Even then, it won't hold the slide open on empty.

none of the mags would lock the slide back until i tweaked them.

Hold the magazine with the front facing you. with needle nose pliers grab the lower follower lip from the 3 o'clock position. twist upward toward the 2 o'clock position.
dont bend it upward, twist it upward.

it only took a tiny tweek and they work like a champ now. i called sarco back and ordered a bunch.

tried it on the one sarco magazine i have. didn't fix the problem with any of the guns i tried it out on.

it's just that one magazine, so I don't think it is a slide lock lever issue.

EDIT: I played with it a bit more, and also bent the lower follower lip up a bit, and now it seems to be working in each gun. Thank you for the tip!

drilling is tricky. the ejector is hard. the aluminum framer is softer, and the drill bit wants to walk around the steel leg.

i filed the leg a little after marking it, in order to get it started, installed the ejector, and then drilled with whatever bit from my numbered $20 harbor freight set fit in the hole.
