I have a Springfield M1911A-1 style GI .45. It is the first pistol that I ever bought way back in the early 2000's. I disassembled it fully (for the first time) to thoroughly clean it, and install some mods (extended thumb safety amongst them). Now, when I reassemble it, the hammer will not lock back. It immediately swings forward.
I've done the research online, sifting through as best as I can. I believe that I have not installed the sear spring properly. The hammer strap is in the mainspring. I am not able to find a video with a close up enough view of where the left finger of the sear spring needs to be. The middle one is under the disconnector, I got that.
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
