WE M1911 hammer lock

Recommended Posts

I've purchased a parts gun, a WE M1911A1, and have decided to try and get it working instead of just cannibalising it.

 

Previous owner has removed the bottom half of the grip and its associated 3-prong spring.

 

Now, the hammer will not lock back, nor will the slide lock move, and I feel perhaps that the 3 prong spring is the key to both.

 

Does anyone have an exploded diagram, or an explanation on how to install the spring?

 

Cheers!

Sorted that. Spring installed.

 

Now, it appears that when I try to engage the slide lock, it is moving the beaver, making the hammer drop when the slide is cycled. The slide lock will not move to engage properly

 

Any hints? I do have a small screw that came with this, that I cannot identify a use for.
