agreed ^^^^, the less expensive cast TS from WC, don't recall model number, while I prefer the shape better , I stopped using it many years ago. No not because it is cast, but found too many where the axle was not 90* to the body and the axle was not round. Entirely too much work to make it. But I did prefer its shape. I've been using Novaks TS, with great success. Also the offering from EGW, however it requires much reshaping , for ME. It is however worth the effort
OP, glad you got your TS removed
You know I must have been living under a toad stool LOL.
I have been using NOS Military & Colt parts & have had no real problems fitting parts yet.
On the new Caspian Classic 1911 frame I am using to replace my cracked 1918 pistol frame with. Much metal removed to fit the Org 1918 Slide
but now it's squeeky tight for an old war horse. I'm happy you described the process @switchback I won't be living under that toad stool forever, new parts.
Who to buy from today?
