Hey all, looking for a little guidance. I've got a new NH recon frame with an EB slide on a new build. Slide is fit to the frame and I was working on the barrel (kart xact fit).
Hood is fit and I was working on the upper lug fit. I notice that the barrel is starting into battery, still have more to go. But the slide is short from being flush. I also see that the SS pin is not seating where it should be on the lower lugs, its just at the apex of going to the flat on the lug.
The SS pin hole is .445 from the rail and I think this is the reason the lower lug is not going over the SS pin. The SS pin is .200, hole .201. Everything else looks good.
Just for kicks I tried the barrel on two other 1911's and the slide/frame were lined up and the SS pin was hitting the lugs where it should be.
Not supposed to have to fit the Kart lower lugs but is this what I need to do? And wouldn't that require a shorter like at that point? There's only about .003 clearance between hood and alide when out of battery.
