1911 Parts Recommendations Wanted

I have a recent manufacture Remington stainless 1911. Other than the rear sight which will be swapped out with an adjustable sight an extended slide release, the gun is original. Thinking about adding a muzzle brake.

What parts would you recommend as spares for those that wear out or go boing and are lost?

Thanks,

Jim

    IMHO you need at least 5 fully functional magazines for anything that uses them.

    A full pin set is good. I would add a hammer and sear, a full strength(+) recoil spring and the 3 fingered one, spare fitted extractor to your list.

    SAVE YOUR ORIGINAL REAR SIGHT. And, it wouldn't hurt to get an extra of both front & rear sights. Nice to have another set of original grips, too.

    Slide release/stop and thumb safety spring and plungers,,,,,,,those little buggers are escape artists,,,[:o)]

    In fact a complete 'pin' set can be handy,,,,, get quality ones.




    Forge - have you ever seen the Bob Day mod to the TSS? He used a pair of 'Nippers' or 'End cut pliers' to put a 'kink' in the spring. W/ that mod the spring is captured in the spring tube and effort is needed to remove it.

    I found the 'mod' in this book: The Gun Digest Book of Pistolsmithing
