I just noticed this and would like to see the pictures, but the link is now broken. Great article!

Crap! My former hosting service went kaput. I will do my best to get them back up.

I think these pics are lost at least for now-- but I will be seeing Rob in June and get some updated pics and round count-- I would guess maybe another 5-10K but he has a few other 1911's so maybe less. He keeps a precise count.

I too have a high round count 1911. The pic of the breech face reminded me of a similar pic I took a few years back.Originally Posted by Ned Christiansen
(UPDATE Dec 2013,round count now 80K plus)
The breech face—not as worn and dimpled as I would expect with this round count, regardless of the loads used.
Mine is a very early Kimber that I tuned up.
Breech face, magwell, etc:
When they are built right, they run and run, and run...
I truly enjoy looking at "hard use" guns like the Springfield that is the subject of this thread. They just scream "tool used by a serious practitioner".
Cheers!

Lost River - very nice pistol. I'm the same way, I really appreciate photos of a "well-enjoyed" 1911.

i LOVE those pics, i hope one day a couple of my 1911's will look like that. Ned love your stuff, you really need to post more pics... but then again that would keep you from building guns..... damned if you do damned if you don'tkeep it up

Thanks for the update Ned, it is appreciated.
The MC Operator is on my short list of must have's. Just need find one since the seem to be pretty rare in my parts.

I may have missed it, but was this replacement due to failure or as an improvement? I am just trying to keep track of when failure driven replacements are being needed.

Well i just learned a lot of great stuff, i knew what a bow tie cut was, however did not fully understand the implications it has.
