[FEATHERWEIGHT]

This one is probably for the Tuner.
I have a Springer Loaded Champion. I have put 100 rds through it. It is still extremely tight. I have cycled the weapon with out a mag about 300 times+.

The weapon is still not very accurate shoots left about 3" off. Lots of flyers to the left.

This gun ejects spent cases about 20 feet and hard, the guy 4 lanes down said something about the brass flying.

Also I am not overly happy with the flimsy guide rod system.

What shoud I have done to improve the accuracy.

Should I address the ejection of brass issue.

Who should I send this weapon to for work?

Should I send it to Springfield?

How much do you need to spend to get an $800 1911 to work like a sig 220.

Howdy Featherweight, and welcome to THR.

On the point of impact issue, determine whether the gun is at fault or
if it's a matter of how you are shooting. Most of the time...assuming that the gun is correctly zeroed...a lateral dispersion could be due to how
consisten your grip and your finger placement on the trigger is. Have
a known good marksman shoot the gun to see if he gets the same results.
If not, concentrate on your grip and trigger finger placement. If it
shoots the same, it's likely a lockup issue with the barrel and slide.

On the ejection...my stance has always been that as long as the brass is
clearing the port, I don't care where it lands. In an indoor range, it could be a problem. The distance is affected by several factors...the strength of the recoil spring being one of them. Extractor tension and geometry is
another. The ejector's shape and length is another. Even ammunition can play a role.

You may be able to shorten the throw a little with a new recoil spring...or
even a stiffer spring...but you're also likely to throw a wrench into the
machinery with stepping up the spring rate. The chopped guns tend to be
a little persnickety on reliable function...and many of the issues that crop up
got right to the recoil spring as the the reasons.

'Bout all I can tell ya is to juggle a couple of different spring rates, and play
with the extractor tension to see how it affects it...but be prepared for other problems to come up. The shorties are much less forgiving of changes in those areas.

Luck!
