Advice requested for GI Expert
I have the GI Expert. It has been reliable since it got back from servicing, but only with very good mags. The stock Mec-Gars still cause a jam periodically despite the piece being broken in. If I use the very good mags I mentioned, can I rely on it for HD? Or should I replace certain small parts? If some small parts need replacing, which ones? Mine was manufactured late in 2010, FWIW.
Thanks,
P.
I've owned three (3) Para's, and I've been cured of the desire to ever have one again. Their small part quality is frankly appalling, and their adherence to standard 1911 dimensions and tolerances is, um, liberal. I still own one (GI ExSpurt) but it was the only keeper of the bunch, and only with work.
