I am trying to assemble a Colt 1911 that belongs to my grandpa but there is one little part I can't get really right. It's the one in the picture. If anyone could please enlighte me it would make the old man's day quite better.

Never taken a 1911 apart myself, but youtube is your friend brochacho
Thomas Sullivan
Man, I've watched so many videos and none of them has this little part. I'm intrigued by it.
Levi Thompson
I don't know where you got it from but it's not part of a 1911.
Logan Bennett
That is not a 1911 part.
Can you give me a close up shot of your ejector? (that's the part that sticks up above the thumb safety on the slide rail)
Brayden Parker
I started to doubt it myself, but the old man is assuring me it is a part of it. It was assembled as a .22 and I am trying to assemble it as .45. I sas him dissambling it and it was inside it.
Levi James
Ok, that may be part of the .22 conversion kit.
That is not used for a .45.

Ok, your ejector looks fine.
It just looked a bit funny in the other photo.
I'd have given you a heads up if it looked wrong.

Austin Rogers
It's part of a Colt 22 conversion kit. If you're assembling it as a 45, it won't be installed
Jack Sullivan
You are right. I'll post the difference in a minute.
Owen Martin
Don't sell this gun.
This is an original run M1911.
It looks as if it wasn't converted to the A1.
Levi Gomez
Thank you so much for your attention. My grandpa loves this gun but he got old and forgot how to assemble it properly.
He sends his regards. Thanks, lads.
Sebastian Sanchez
Happy to help.
Say hey for us to the Jow Forumsomando.
Robert Lee
You're a good grandson. Show us a pic of the gun assembled.
James Kelly
Here it is.
Juan Harris
That's pretty. What year is it?
Colton Parker
That's a great question. Not even my grandpa could answer it. Considering he is over 80, I can't even try to guess it accurately.
Jaxon Williams
Good shit user.
Carson Perry
Holly shit!
It is a pre-A1 M1911.
Nice gun.

You can tell based off of the serial number
Alexander Thomas
Fucking rare.
Dylan Johnson
This user is playing with a 100 year old gun with Colt custom shop grips.
I bet he'd give birth to a brick if he had any idea what it was worth.
Blake Adams
My grandpa would shoot anybody before selling it.
Jacob Richardson
I agree that you and he shouldn't think about it.
You should get it appraised and get it under your insurance though.
You have in you possession a collectors piece that's probably over $2500.
Thanks for sharing images of it.
Joshua Ortiz
I don't have it with me now, but I promised him I would take him shooting tomorrow. I will recored videos.
Is this weapon worth money?
Gavin Powell
Looks like a newish muzzle loader shotgun so probably not. Need more info though, like what markings are on it.
William Diaz
Based on what I see in that image, I'd say it's worth enough to look into.
Side-by-side muzzle loader that uses caps.
Rifle or shotgun? (rifle would be worth more)
Any maker's mark you can find?
Honestly, black powder is outside my field of knowledge but it's rare enough that it's worth investigating.
If you lived in the Puget Sound area, I'd know exactly who you should see.
It's very pretty though.
The carving on the stock is very nice.
Lucas Miller
It's a rifle, user. Good to hear. Thanks for the attention.
Evan Gutierrez
One thing to know, Side by side rifles are hard to make.
No one makes a cheap one.
Whether it's a new production or an older one, it was pricey.
Dylan Cook
You're a good kid user.
Carson Roberts
Hope to see those videos user. You are good egg.
