Check out the Wolff Gunsprings site.

It has the right magazine for reliable feeding (Mec-Gar 10 rnd MGCGOV910AFC). Here's a LINK to my evaluation of them. I worked on a BUL a while ago. Great trigger out of the box. A couple of little things that had to be tweaked. Check the bull barrel to slide fit. It was a little sloppy on...

Another possibility for removing rust is Otis bronze cleaning brushes. You can find them at Amazon for $12 for a package of ten. I use them to remove rust from old, nasty, never cared for rifles and shotguns.

Here are some links that may be of interest to the OP. https://www.sigtalk.com/ https://zrtacticalsolutions.com/shop/firearm-parts/gsg-sig-1911-22/ https://zrtacticalsolutions.com/shop/firearm-parts/gsg-sig-1911-22/gsg-1911-22-tool-steel-extractor

The part is called "extractor". Essentially it is a hook that engages the case rim and pulls the fired case or unfired cartridge out of the chamber. The first thing for you to do is to remove the extractor from the slide and thoroughly clean it and the channel in which it fits. .22 ammo can...

In the off chance the problem presents itself again, wrap a piece of 320 grit sandpaper around a wooden dowel or other appropriate item and sand around the inside edge of the left side of the magazine tube. See the attached picture. I've run into mags that had a very small burr where the...

The question of why magazine catches don't function smoothly and easily is not uncommon. So, I thought I'd put together a simple pictorial guide to help folks out. It's the little things that make a difference and elevate your pistol above the ordinary. The magazine catch consists of three...

I used dry tumbling for many, many years. Then one day my faithful tumbler died. This occurred just as wet tumbling was being developed. So I bought a Thumblers Tumbler, a bag of stainless steel pins from the only guy who sold them, a bottle of Lemi-Shine, and a bottle of Dawn. I haven't...

I've had a LW Officer's Model since 1982. I replaced the Colt recoil spring bushing which was known to fail with a Clark early on. Recoil spring life was short but it was a carry piece not a competition pistol so I wasn't concerned with spring life until a few months ago when I finally gave in...

This post is not meant to address all aspects of performing a full trigger job. It is focused on setting up the sear spring to function correctly and safely. I N T R O D U C T I O N The sear spring serves multiple roles in the functioning of the 1911. .The original JMB design of the sear...

External extractor? No thanks.

Nothing obviously wrong with the extractor. Definitely a .45 extractor. The thing that caught my eye was the locating pad. My guess is it's a bit too tall meaning the deflection would be too little. The first thing I would do is make a.465" wide extractor deflection gauge and slide up the...

NO!!! That extractor is very odd looking. Can you remove it from the slide and take a picture showing the hook area? This is what a perfectly extractor looks like. This is your goal when fitting an extractor. Note the contact between the extractor's tensioning wall and the case rim. Note...

Just an observation. Fitting an extractor so that it functions perfectly 100% of the time and doesn't cause intermittent and unexplained failures-to-feed is best done following a proven path. That path can be found HERE. Even the most conservative extractor service life according to...

I agree with@Blue68of100 and would add that the magazine has nothing to do with the failure-to-extract. It could be the extractor, it could be a tight chamber, it could be a short barrel leade, or a couple of other possibilities. Send it back to the mother ship with a full description of the...

Based strictly on this symptom alone I would encourage you to check the extractor's deflection. The extractor's tensioning wall should be .465" from the left guide block to achieve the desired .010" deflection. Check out this thread for details...

Jason is an outstanding 1911 'smith and really nice guy. Lest anyone get the wrong impression, what he shows in the video is an extractor that he has already correctly fit to the pistol being bent to adjust tension. There is more to getting an extractor to run right than just bending it to add...
