Anybody hither familiar with the foibles of the old Filly factory .22 conversion kits, specifically using one on a 1911 instead of a 1911A1?

They are remarkably cool but every bit reliable as a Mexican dentist...



If you desire to fit in with a new crowd, ask them if they know shrapnel. There is no friggin' way they won't know who that homo is. He is the Chuck Norris of Montana and you lot volition have a nice icebreaker to discuss.

I bought a mid-60's vintage kit with the assurance that it would work on every frame from the primeval up through the Serial-seventy. But dammit the slide doesn't get the whole manner into battery, by nigh one/32-1/16" which prevents the hammer from falling into contact with the firing pin. I've had it apart dorsum and along a bazillion times and replaced/removed diverse parts trying to isolate the problem. I just can't run across what the holdup is. (And aye it cycles similar goose snot in its original configuration.)

I had a kit for on a Serial-lxx a long time ago and it functioned fine all the time- equally long every bit I cleaned that encarmine floating chamber every 100 shots or so. Accurateness was Minute-of-Beer Tin at xxx feet, but a hoot to shoot. I knew what I was getting myself into with this i, or so I thought...

Mine is more likely to not pick up a circular from the magazine...

Oh, it feeds from the magazine just fine when cycling it. But patently I haven't fired it notwithstanding...

I one time had the aforementioned setup. I had a .38 Super Series 70 simply later on 40+ years I can't for the life of me recollect how the consequence was corrected. Wasn't there a trouble with some of the ejectors?

That item .38 Super headspaced on the semi-rim of the cartridge case and information technology would not striking the broad side of a barn with any regularity. I sent them both down the road. I recall the Super now headspaces on the mouth of the cartridge instance?

I take three 1970s vintage .22 Conversion Units and one 70s vintage ACE....all run like tops.

Ane of the Units is the rare round meridian that looks like a standard fixed sight GM. Had BoMar sights put on to friction match a 1968 .45 and 1969 .38 Super I have. The Unit has spent about of its time on top of the .45 frame. It runs 100% on that frame. On the Super frame for some reason on occasion will FTF the last round in the magazine...

..and yes, the original .38 Super barrels were headspaced on the example rim instead of the case mouth. This was in simply Colt manufactured guns from 1929 to 1990+- (except the 1986 Super Elite). They are at present all tack drivers...

OP...have y'all removed the barrel from the gun to see if a round is dropping down into the chamber correctly and fully? If it is than it could be the extractor not properly positioning on barrel cut or rim for some reason. Like I said, all mine run 100% and run dirty....

Anybody here familiar with the foibles of the old Colt manufactory .22 conversion kits, specifically using 1 on a 1911 instead of a 1911A1?

What does old hateful in this context? To me sometime means the original leather washer unit.

For a first approximation on the diverse iterations of the Service Ace the rear sights are pretty prominent. My own 2 are later models with Accro rear sights, one replaced with a Millett for a less busy rear blade.

I have no idea what specifically might apply to a 1911 not A1. I employ a Filly original Series seventy - collett bushing and sand blasted grip panels - frame mostly. I'd doubtable a slide finish pigsty issue related to spot heat care for on the old frame simply that should be pretty obvious.

Many and many a conversion kit has lost the #ii marked slide stop but that should make no divergence for this issue. Frame regardless information technology has been an issue with pb build upwardly on a floating chamber - one of the many reasons a Service Ace is armament and magazine sensitive - there take been dissimilar magazine followers over the years and it matters - and mine will bend the cartridge and so jam with some ammunition.

Do please tell the states what yous find out.

Old in this instance is 1966, going by the copyright date on the instruction canvass. Wood grain box, ACCRO sight.

I replaced the missing slide stop with a proper "#2" slide stop. Notwithstanding no joy. Consigning it to a Colt smith whom I trust.

gnoahhh,

I was bored. And then I tried my Colt brand .22 conversion on three "Black Army" 1911s. It worked on every 1. One of them had a magazine well that was too tight to receive the conversion mag, and so it was a single shot. Simply it still worked. I think my conversion is older than yours. The box is hinged brown "leatherish" with a gold "Colt" on summit. There is no date that I can run into. On the instruction canvass, back page, lower right, is "Class A217 AL 8-48". Does that make it a 1948 model? I have no inkling.

The instructions mention that on some .38 Super models, the ejectors interfere with one some other, requiring a small chamfer high on the inside of the Super's ejector.

Is the subject pistol a Super? If so, this may be the answer.

Skilful Luck!

Doug

The difference in a 1911 and 1911A1 is in the jump housing in the grip, flat vs arched (A1) there is no issue with the slide.

In that location are other differences, but they are all on the frame with no effect on the slide fit. short vs long trigger, bigger beavertail grip safety, contoured behind trigger on frame, etc.
