[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 2935835, member: 14520"] Here's my take on this deal. Crates is the best...but don't start with polishing. Its a last resort. I agree with others that most issues with any mag fed firearm will have mag issues. Secondly, its been mentioned that some 1911s don't like some ammo. True statement so get some 230gr ball ammo and test your Roscoe with it. Also, get ahold of Wolff springs and buy new mag springs for every mag you have. Regardless of the mags age or how much it has been used. Also buy a new recoil spring for your 1911. A 17# spring is standard on most 5" barreled 1911s. But buy a set of recoil springs in various spring rates, e.g. 12#-20#. They are cheap and you may find a spring weight you like better. Particularly if you use bullets lighter than 230gr. You're right to give your 1911 a good cleaning. Make sure you clean the hook tip of the extractor. The 1911 is a controlled feed pistol and junk in the extractors hook will affect how the pistol feeds. So, clean it, put new springs in everything, lube it and run some 230gr ball ammo through it and be a happy dude. But don't polish anything. [/QUOTE]
