Wilson Combat, Complete Spring Kit, Fits 1911 - 316G - 874218000875
Product Description
Maintaining peak operational reliability in full-size and compact 1911 pistols requires routine spring replacement to prevent frame battering, light primer strikes, and failure-to-feed or extract errors. Over high round counts, factory springs lose tension, leading to inconsistent cycling velocity and erratic trigger resetting. The Wilson Combat Complete Spring Kit for 1911 (316G) provides a comprehensive, high-tensile spring overhaul kit designed to restore factory-fresh performance and optimal mechanical timing to 1911 handguns.
Precision-wound from premium high-tensile spring steel wire, each spring in the 316G kit undergoes rigorous heat treatment and stress-relieving processes to prevent premature tension fatigue. The kit includes a heavy-duty 18.5 lb recoil spring for enhanced frame protection during hard-use shooting, an extra-power firing pin spring to eliminate inertial drop-fire risks, a reduced-power mainspring for smoother hammer cocking and trigger pull, a 3-finger sear spring, magazine catch spring, and plunger tube spring set.
Engineered for full-size Government and Commander 1911 single-stack models, the Wilson Combat 316G spring set delivers essential maintenance components required for competition tuning, armorer overhauls, and long-term duty staging.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment & Platform Compatibility Matrix: Fits standard Mil-Spec 1911 Single-Stack Handguns (Government 5" and Commander 4.25" models in .45 ACP, 9mm, and 10mm). Maintenance Interval Note: Recoil springs should be replaced every 3,000–5,000 rounds to prevent frame battering.
Installation Sequence:
- Safety check the firearm: clear magazine, lock slide rearward, and physically/visually inspect chamber to verify clear weapon.
- Field strip the slide assembly, recoil spring, guide rod, and firing pin stop/spring.
- Detail strip the mainspring housing, grip safety, and sear spring from the lower frame.
- Replace factory springs with corresponding Wilson Combat high-tensile components (apply light coat of gun oil to recoil spring and mainspring).
- Reassemble lower receiver and slide, verifying smooth slide cycle, positive trigger reset, and proper thumb/grip safety engagement during function check.
