#Blueprints

There can be many reasons why one might be looking for blueprints or technical drawings of any particular gun or gun part. It can be for learning and educational purposes or to compare if their parts are within specs and many other reasons. If the legislation of your state or country allows, you can even make parts yourself (sounds like a nice project) to replace them on your guns or make custom ones.

Searching for a full barrel specification for usage outside of TFB, I stumbled across this gem of a forum post from GunSmithInfo.com. Posted up for all to see in great clarity is the full Government 1911 prints, for every part including full readable notes, sizes, tolerances, and likely testing methods.
