The Armorer Block is the culmination of years of tinkering on the 1911 and getting by with a box of tools and fixtures that didn't quite do what I wanted.  

This 4"x4"x1.25" block is CNC machined from super tough nylon, and will give years of service.  Whatever you might wish to do to your 1911 or 2011 using hand tools, this block will help you do it. The block comes with removable hammer and sear fixture pins.

Some of the built in features of the block (see photo gallery):

• Hold barrel for link pin removal/installation
• Thumb safety fitting, clearance cut, and detent face tuning
• Mainspring housing assembly/disassembly and MSH cap pin holding
• Hammer/sear engagement observation
• Hammer link pin removal
• 2011 Spring guide disassembly/reassembly
• 2011 Grip Rest for MSH pin removal
• 2011 Frame rest for grip module removal
• 1911 Frame holding on either side, via grip screw bushings, with plunger tube and mag catch clearance

This block is so handy it is even used by Colt in their 1911 armorer courses!

**Not compatible with Officer's/Defender, EMP, and other shortened 1911 single stack frames.
