Hi, Coinneach.

Try asking about Prussian Blue. That is what it is often called.

Have you checked the barrel foot for possible interference if the link is not dimensioned properly? You can do this with the slide off, just by putting in the barrel and inserting the slide stop through the link. A too short or too long link can cause interference either at the barrel foot or at the locking lugs.

Many of those 1911 clones have a lot of handwork and selective fitting so that kind of thing is not uncommon.
