I have a Springfield ARmory GI 1911-A1 in 45acp. It has ran flawlessly since I have had it. I decided to change the recoil spring and add a Wilson buffer. For the spring I chose a 16lb. spring which was same as OEM. It was about 1/2 inch longer than the one in the gun which I attributed to the current one being worn and being so much smaller. The Current one was 6" long and the new one is 6 1/2" long. Anyway, I installed the new spring and the buffer and manually worked the slide. All was well. You could tell that the action was a little heavier than before, but I just thought it was suppose to be. Anyway, I took it out to shoot and ran through 20 rounds before I had a problem. It was the first problem ever. Upon one round ejecting and another one loading I had a stove pipe. One halfway in and the other not quiet clear of the ejection port. Of course with a tap it was fixed, but still, it was a misshap that I wasn't to thrilled with. Was this caused by the buffer, recoil spring and if so was it to stiff or to light? Thanks
