Hi guys!
I need help from 1911 builders.
I get quite a bit of hammer bite when I shoot my AO. I have decided to install (myself) a beavertail.
Can someone please tell me what the proper radius cut is needed for a Kahr AO 1911A1 GI?
I have searched the interwebs for hours, and the only thing I have learned is that Springfield Armory requires a .220 radius, because it is Milspec. OK, fine. I gues I then need a .250 cut? The part I am not sure is what Milspec means in this context, and if other manufacturers GIs are also milspec...
I am guessing that one should go with .250 by exclusion (since its not a SA GI milspec!) and if it looks terrible, I can always buy a .220 jig/safety and file some more?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks!
