    4516 recoil spring replacements?

    How about for the -2? Yes, -1 solutions are out there; I know about those; I'm really worried more about my -2s', which I prefer. I suppose the slide could be drilled out for the CHP guide rod, or the -1 rod, but am not sure it would work. Wolff never did make springs for the -2; wonder how...

    4516 recoil spring replacements?

    So, I understand these are drying up; anyone know of a replacement scheme? I understand a 20# flat wire will work with some finagling in a -1, but what for a -2? And for that matter, am I just SOL for my CS-45? TIA, J

    Object; matrimony...SA and PO

    Have old style Para frame kit and Springfield Champion upper I plan to build up with. I know the rails on a kit this old are cut for a "drop-on" install of a 1911 upper. (Yeah, it's one of the OLD ones) will I have to shorten the rails to Commander length as well for a SA short upper? Anybody...

    IS there a replacement adj. rear sight

    that would drop into on the Springfield Armoury adjustable sight cut? I'm thinkin' about the Mark Waki design Wilson markets, but at any rate, don't think it would work to recut the Springer (and don't wanna). Would something else fit in their cut? Would it offer any improvement over the SA...

    Officers ACP question

    Renner tactical grips Probably the cheesiest ever put on a Colt. Are you sure about going that far back to stock? Pachys at least a better choice in all respects. Or Kimber rubber compacts. For cheap finger relief, cut 1/2 " out of rubber frontstrap under triggerguard. You'll like it. Wood...

    How do I make a springfield mil spec more accurate

    Well, not my experience with 3 G21s... But the pic looks a lot like the last Mil-Spec I sold off; I agree with the above post: what do you mean by inaccurate? All over the road or just not doing what you want it to? Mil-Spec was not designed to be competition-ready out of the box (perhaps look...

    How do I make a springfield mil spec more accurate

    Accuracy is an outcome of mechanical tightness and function and then shooter interface and practise. 1. Practise 2. tighten barrel lockup (bushing, breech); fitted ($) barrel). (Kart? Bar-Sto? Wilson Combat or other drop-in kit)? (in order of decreasing expense...) 3. Enhance control input...

    Have You Ever Considered Abandoning Carrying a Firearm Because of Your Temperament?

    When I decided to go armed I began to cultivate a disconnect between my anger and my holster; carrying and presenting a weapon has nothing to do with anger, and never should. I have no basic human right to express anger with a firearm, no matter what has happened. The thirst in our culture...
