A long time ago this Golden Eagle 1911 GBB pistol was dumped on me fully disassembled… the previous owner had it to a number of techs who couldn’t work out why the slide wouldn’t rack.
Today I decided to put it back together with the view to using it as a display if the parts in the lower were too flogged out to work with.
It functions again quite well with the judicious application of some lubricant and a logical approach to reassembly, but there are two points of failure with it. The slide will not lock back on empty mag and the slide lock pin will rattle out due to wear on the detent bock.
I can buy a GE replacement cheap enough from iHobby but it’s not for this model so I’m not sure if it’s compatible.
POST EDIT : Just found out from watching a review of these by Bradley Phillips that while Double Bell mags are compatible they won’t lock the slide back when empty… may be my problem with this one. 
Can anyone confirm that with GE 1911s there’s a bit of cross compatibilty, with this part in particular?
The other issue is the ambi safety levers… clearly some ham fisted tech has wrestled these around in an attempt to disassemble and the triangular key together feature is pretty flogged out resulting in about 3mm of rotational play between the two levers. I can’t find a replacement ambi safety anywhere outside the US online.
Anyone have any clues where I might pick one up?
