Picked up a nice used 1991 today and put 75 rounds of 225gr lead flat nose with 3.0 gr Bullseye. Accuracy was much better than my skills so no complaint there. Only one case smokestacked; however many rounds ejected shallowly upward, sometimes forward, sometimes in my lap, most just barely to my right side. Does this suggest maybe too strong a recoil spring? Don't know what is in it now, but I do have a wilson 16.5lb avail...just didn''t have time to try it this afternoon. Maybe I should get a 14 lb with the light loads I'm shooting? Or perhaps its simply the extractor that needs tweeking...somthing I'm not equipped to do.
The barrel is an aftermarket of some sort. It has the following on the top at the port: 45 auto 7791193 86 and underneath where the pin is, it has two letters M, and P. Any idea what this is?
Whoever worked on the barrel must have used a course file seeing how rough it it. Nevertheless, it did feed without any problems and it has a Shooting Star mag, the standard diamond wood grips, plastic trigger and mainspring housing. Serial nr is 27494**...if anyone has any idea when it was made?
Went over to 1911 forum and read about how to check extractor: "slip a bullet up under extractor and if it doesn't fall out, etc" . Mine does fall out..has about the space of two bullet rims. Guess i need a new extractor to start with!
