Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Do 1911 compensators have this gap or is it just me?

I decided to try filing off a considerable amount of material from the locking lug, and even getting it as thin as possible without just getting rid of it entirely, there's still a very noticeable gap, but it does engage with the spring plug so it can't just twist loose.

Lesson learned though, at least for this part, bell is absolute garbage in terms of proper size, by a huge margin. It's as though they didn't even try to fit it before mass producing them. The actual spacing between the lug and where the end of the slide should fit is pretty far off compared to the stock barrel bushing too, and there's no compensating for that with the tools I have.
