| I have a Springer Loaded and I'm trying to install the Wilson speed chute. I have filed on it and it still will not fit with out binding the grip safety. The safety moves but is not functional. As I don't mind this too terribly, now the hammer when dropped just flops. What did I do wrong? |

Is this an all-in-one mainspring housing / magwell part?
Are you using the stock Springfield mainspring that was included in the ILS mainspring housing? It's shorter than others and you will need a mainspring of the correct length. 23# is the factory weight though I like 19# personally. Not sure why the grip safety is binding. Get a Sharpie, color some edges and see if you can determine where it's dragging. Might be rubbing against the hammer strut as well. |

Quoted:
It is a two piece, the msh and the magwell. I wasn't aware they were shorter springs as I have done this before and never had problems. Recent Springfields (from about 10 years ago and newer) have a longer mainspring cap and shorter mainspring as part of the Integrated Locking System. A new cap and spring are needed if you swap in a non-ILS mainspring housing. |
