Default 1911A1 Issue

I fired my Dad's 1911A1 the other day (a Norinco copy.) A couple of times it wouldn't go into slide lock after the last round. What would cause this (other than a Norinco quaility control problem)? Could it be the mag?

Mag, ammo or it needs oil. Does the slide lock to the rear manually?

Yes it does lock back manually. Good point re: needing oil. It was pretty dry.

If you can manually lock back the slide with the mag in it, it's not the mag. If your shooting factory ammo, it's a oil issue.

What are the oil points for a 1911? How much/where?

From the Kimber manual:
http://www.kimberamerica.com/downloa...Fullsize45.pdf
(page 28)

LUBRICATION
1. Use a High Tech Gun Oil such as Shooters
Choice FP-10 or similar quality oil (grease is
not recommended). If oil contains Teflon be
sure to shake well before using as the Teflon
settles when left overnight.
2. Lubricate the following internal parts of the pistol:
a. Slide and Frame rails - Oil. Do not over oil!
b. Disconnector on top of frame - Small drop.
c. Barrel Hood - two drops, spread on hood.
d. Barrel Locking lugs inside Slide and on
Barrel - one drop on each lug.
e. Barrel Link - one drop behind link.
f. Slide Stop pin - one drop, spread with finger.
g. Outside of Barrel - Oil. Do not over oil,
spread with fingertip.
h. Cock Hammer - one drop in between the
hammer and frame.
i. Assemble gun. Rack the Slide 5-6 times,
dry fire, wipe off excess oil from gun.
j. Make sure, if you have stored the gun with
oil in the barrel and chamber, that you run
a dry patch through the barrel to clear it of
the oil before you fire the gun.

slide lock lever or mag would be my guess. both can be verified and fixed easily.

Because he said it works manually, it's not one of those two things.

Hard to say. It would help to see it, though.
