Spring guide for we 1911

bleaches · January 22nd, 2009, 18:09

you should be fine with that kit, just make sure of the length since it looks like ull be putting a bushing up front. i hope it doesnt stick an mm too far like my nova ones lol.

cant you just sand it down a little bit. Im not familiar with that set does it come with that recoil spring or does it just show it in there?

bleaches · January 23rd, 2009, 02:51

the nineball set comes with watever is in that package. and as for sanding down the excess...its kinda hard when u have a full 1mm of material. plus ur not using a bull barrel setup so ull take a way the notch the bushing fits in. i suggest u ask before you buy.

but since it says its for the 1911 gov model it just might fit. maybe somone whos got a hi capa and 1911 can tell us if their spring plugs are actually different in length. if they are, that explains why mine sticks out a mm

Will it fit with my stock barrel bushing though?

bleaches · January 25th, 2009, 00:01

if it doesnt stick out then ya.

takealap · January 26th, 2009, 17:45

but I have to ask how long it is? How long should it be?

The WA plug (that's a recoil spring plug, not a bushing) does fit in the WE, but it's slightly smaller (~ 0.5mm), so I'm not 100% how well it would sit. The old MGC plugs are actually an exact fit (but I doubt you could find one today). The WE recoil spring guides also just 'sit there', and the WA does fit.

However, even if it all fits correctly, that plug is meant to be used without a barrel bushing. Since the 1911s come with a straight barrel, you need the bushing to stabilize it. Otherwise you'd need to switch to a bull barrel (the ones with a cone-shaped muzzle) as well. Not sure which, if any, would fit the WE 1911.

Actually, the Western Arms bushings fit perfectly in WEs.

Is the we hicapa barrel considered a bull barrel?

Ohhh, so the we hi capa barrel will fit if I dont use a bushing?

bleaches · January 28th, 2009, 12:27

yes sir, thats wat i have. it eliminates ALL the problems with possible length issues with the guide rod housing

takealap · January 28th, 2009, 20:06

But cant you just use the regular barrel without a barrel bushing?

bleaches · January 29th, 2009, 04:23

um yes...but ull see why... lol

hint: wobble wobble

takealap · January 29th, 2009, 17:26

Now im gonna have to invest in an outer barrel too lol Im probably just gonna be a regular we 5.1 barrel theyre only like 20 bucks. But whats the difference between the we barrels and the nineball barrels do the nineball ones just look better?

bleaches · January 29th, 2009, 18:01

remem i run Shooter design barrels. i personally never seen a nineball barrel so i cant tell on the quality.

takealap · January 29th, 2009, 22:26

Oh, but what I meant was like a more expensive barrel like a shooters design, whats the difference between that and the we barrel, stainless?
