| Is it possible to have a full steel guide rod placed in my Springfield Milspec 1911, and if so which one would yall reccomend? Also, would getting a Wolf Spring System help make the gun a little more accurate? I recently purchased a Kimber TLE/II and I wanna get the Springfield to perform somewhat close to the capability of the KImber. Also, I am going to give my Springfield to my godson soon, and I want him to have a quality handgun he can count on when/if he needs it. Thanks yall |
There really is no point in the full guide rod, but if you what one Wilson Combat makes good parts. Wolff springs will not make the gun more accurate. They will help in overall function. If the gun in question has a lot of reliability issues then send it back to Springfield Armory (covered by their Lifetime warranty). |
| sweet...appreciate yalls imput...the gun shoots smoothly enough...just lookin for ways to upgrade...also there was a thread on here a couple weeks ago about placing a light rail on a 1911 that doesnt have one..i think it was called Yost something?? I wanna get one for my Kimber, can anyonetell me what this product is called again...thanks |

If you want to improve accuracy, you get the biggest bang for your buck by doing the following: Have a match bushing fit to the barrel and slide. Have the fit of the barrel checked while they're at it. Get a trigger job to lighten the pull and eliminate creep. These steps will, in all likelihood, dramatically increase the practical accuracy of the pistol. The trigger job won't increase literal accuracy, but it will make it easier to shoot the gun accurately. Now, the rail you probably heard about was a Dawson rail. You can find more info at www.dawsonprecision.com. Once you buy the rail, someone must install it for you (Dawson offers this service as well). |
