I was watching some video on YouTube on how to fieldstip and now I realized and wonder if that RIA 1911 have a bushing wrench included. I didn't look

All 1911 style pistols come with one - the bottom edge of a mag  :) 
Assault Rifle? What I have here is an Anti-Assault Rifle.

$0.02, RIA is a combat 1911, it should be left rough, loose and ready. As long as it shoots ok I wouldn't mess with it much.

If you want a pretty one; lots of choices.

That said, your gun, your money, enjoy as you will.

yeah. i also asked 1 guy out there with his 1911 RIA, he tried it and he said dont mess with it anymore since the factory trigger is light and smooth.

where do u guys buy your 1911 grip. locally or online. can you please direct me to what website  you guys bought it from. Thanks in Advance

Find yourself a pair of vzgrips.  They feel great, even when wet.  Also, the stock trigger on the ria tends to be about 5 lbs and a bit gritty so a trigger job would shrink your groups a lot if that's what you're looking to do.

thanks for info pudgster, but my mag pouch, base pad and holster took priority over the grip for now. i also polished my feed ramp as most people do on youtube so i can load HP bullet.
