Standard parts (or is it perts?)

Strictly for my edification, which parts on an SR1911 are . . . . NOT . . .
standard 1911 parts?

The way I understand it, virtually all of the parts in an SR1911 are, in fact,
standard 1911 parts. If that is correct then anyone with an SR1911 could
just go to the Brownells catalogue and get what ever part they need. But
then again, that presupposes they do not want to just get parts from Ruger.

Pat,
You talkin' 1911 A1s or all of the many copies over the years.
The Hi-Cap 9MM comes to mind, The Chiappa 1911 .22, The GSG 1911.22
Just saying.

Pat,
Oops! My mistake, I musta had a brain fart!

Before the question can be correctly answered, ya first have to define what you mean when you say "standard 1911 parts".
In other words, are you speaking in terms of replacement parts made to US Military standards, a certain era of Colt's commercial standards, whatever materials/drawings it is that Ruger may be presently using as their own "standard" VS cast-clone replacement parts being made by who knows who, MIM replacement parts, forged, bar stock, or what?...Or is 'does it, or can it be made to fit an SR1911' to be the main criteria?...

What I'm getting at is that considering all the various renditions of "1911 parts" being offered by the raft of various manufacturers/vendors we are seeing these days, who knows what "standard" even means any more?...certainly not me. About all I do know for sure is that Ruger markets a good copy of the basic 1911 design, so if I wanted to keep it that way, I'd probably stick to buying genuine Ruger parts.

But that's just me, I've never been one to tamper with success.

OP, a lotta 1911 parts are going to either be drop in parts, or should work with a little fitting.
