Packing Patriot, welcome to the 1911 Forum!
Bill Wilson has a book entitled, "Wilson Combat 1911 Auto Maintenance Manual". I got mine from Midway for $10 or so. Chapter titles are: Introduction, Exploded View, Tools Required, Maintenance Schedule, Routine Disassembly, Detailed Disassembly, Cleaning, Inspection, Lubrication, Assembly, Spare Parts, Troubleshooting, Miscellaneous Tips. The book is not long, but it has plenty of photos to illustrate disassembly, and perhaps more importantly, ASSEMBLY. This is probably a good place to start. doctor j
