Remington's new 1911 on the cover of Shooting Times

[ericire12]

Kimber supplies you with one as well with all of their new 1911's. Better to have than not have. It's nice they're made out of polymer and not steel. They can't turn a burr, or damage the finish.  Bill T.

Said the man who knows what EVERY new gun comes with.......... I HATE BILL!

Yea, my PARA came with a plastic one as well.  It's still in the pretty green plastic box that it was packed in.  My guns have scratches, all of them!  It's their rite of passage.......and a 1911, as you well know, can be broken down into it's finite parts WITHOUT tools.

Who uses a bushing wrench anymore?

Not bad looking, looks as though they took some time to clean all the really sharp edges that can remain on a GI 1911 of affordable pricing.

Comes in handy if you have one of the full length guide rods in your 1911 (I lost my bushing wrench though). Makes it easier. With the standard spring with fully closed end cap you don't need it.

I replaced my FLGR with a standard guide and plug. 

I've always used the back of my magazines and my thumb...

I owe FQ AN APOLOGY    
I posted once and then ignored this thread for a few days,

I FORGOT THE STUPID LINK    

FQ, I did indeed mean the Chiappa "Rhino" revolver.
As a form of Penance I will offer the Mateba  Semi Auto revolver .

I've never used a tool on field stripping a 1911,
I take the "Take Down Pin " out, remove the slide, and lift out spring and barrel.
So I get my aggravation on reassembly trying to line the link up so you can put the pin in against spring pressure.
