1911tuner question
I have used the C&S spring steel extractors in the past and they are (or were) the best out there in my opinion. I am in the process of another 1911 build and thought I'd call C&S just to double check that the extractors were still being made within JB original specs, as their original info they had on their site seems to have been taken down.
When I called they would not confirm the steel and just stated "it was made of the best steel possible." I asked them to check further for me. When they got back to me they wouldn't confirm the steel parameters again, and just repeated their original comment that it was made of "the best steel possible" - somewhat disconcerting.
Do you know if their extractors are still made per JB's original specs? I know that I as well as alot of other 1911 affectionatos want to know absolutely that we are putting JMB spec 1070 or 1090 spring steel extractors in our guns, within his original specs. Any light you can shed on this subject would be greatly appreciated!
