To our knowledge, other than the published reproductions above, the limited match conditioning data compiled by the various services, and a previous manual by author Kuhnhausen, very little basic gunsmithing information has been published on the U.

M and MA1 Pistols, and little from a civilian gunsmithing viewpoint.

In this regard, it is our intention to provide professional gunsmiths and students with as much basic data as possible on the referenced models, particularly now that many thousands of heavily used M, MA1, and commercial equivalent pistols are in civilian hands. In the absence of detailed, model specific training programs, we believe that professional gunsmiths and armorers will be better served by the data, safety warnings, cautionary notes, maximum-minimum specifications, and common sense limitations in this manual than if no information was made available, at all.

Additionally, it seems only fair that nonprofessionals should have access to, and benefit of, as many of the same specifications, cautions, and safety warnings as possible.

In this way, perhaps a cautionary note might be read and heeded before the fact of an unsafe act, mishap, or injury.

It is hoped that providing an insight into the mechanical complexity of this subject might serve to inspire the reasonable nonprofessional to refrain from tinkering or substituting critical parts and to take his M type pistol to a qualified pistolsmith for periodic inspection and for servicing or repair, when needed.

Before beginning repairs or replacing parts in any of the models discussed in this book, gunsmiths and armorers are advised: The editorial decision to publish this manual Volume II in the Kuhnhausen. Many of the M parts being sold are very low quality castings.

Some components, including frames, slides, and barrels are off-specification both dimensionally and metallurgically. Because of low end pricing, these parts tend to displace the higher quality components that should be used.

Given that self defense is a good thing, it follows that these well intentioned, law abiding folks should be informed and served in every possible way. In this regard, reliable data can only help.

Truly, journalism at its best. No, Virginia, lousy M commercial parts that can predictably only break does not add up to bad M Pistol design. Kuhnhausen’s first book on the M type pistols- The Colt 45 Automatic – A Shop Manual now referred to as Volume I has been a top seller since initial publication and will remain in print long into the future.

Volume I was edited from a series of loose leaf manuals originally used by the author for shop training and is a literal compendium on M 45 Auto troubleshooting, repair, hand fitting, custom gunsmithing, and basic accurizing.

All of Kuhnhausen’s informative manuals are presented in the same ejrry sequence followed by professional pistolsmiths and armorers when installing replacement parts and repairing or rebuilding pistols at the bench. The pistolsmithing techniques shown and discussed closely follow original factory and ordnance methods except where nonavailability of original ordnance fixtures, tooling, gauges, etc. Emphasis is placed on safety and common sense, correct shop and bench procedures throughout, and the importance of using only within specification parts.
