Actually it is one of the 1st serious question I have seen posed that makes sense. There will be wear of the parts regardless of fitment as they move against each other. Precision fitting may slow that process but it will occur nonetheless. Nothing made by man lasts forever. How that affects drop in parts is another issue depending on the amount of wear present on the "mating part(s)". To re-achieve that like new precision fit for that replacement part it would most likely have to be oversized and then hard fit utilizing a hand fit process or in Cabots case "machined down to fit precisely". This would likely involve a trip back to Cabot. The part may be able to be "drop in" but your not going to have that "precision fit" they are building their name on. Precisely why I can't see the justification for the cost factor. All metal parts have a finite life span. To be fair I'm sure you are looking at many many rounds before anyone will notice any appreciable difference.Originally Posted by Jason8844
One of the reasons I can't see this idea taking off unless they can decrease their manufacturing costs. You can purchase a great shooting, long lasting hand fit 1911 for a whole lot less. The whole concept may be flawed by design. Bob
