1911a1 series 80
Pistol is literally a ww2 repro plus series 80 components....the guide rod plate...specifically the "corners of the Moon" are showing severe preening as if just those sections were getting battered...no wear on any other of the parts....just the guide rod. Replaced the part...still does it.....
Pics added for clarification. Also I'm using factory 230 fmj loads

Everybody and their brother in law, are making 1911's and parts nowadays. Maybe your recoil spring guide is slightly oversize? Try different one.
Also their are plastic buffers that are specifically made to fit over the cylindrical portion of the guide. To stop the battering your referring to. If you can't get a guide with smaller dimensions, get a package of buffers. They are inexpensive.0 -
I think that shows some out of spec machining to the ends of the slide rails.
Can you compare your slide to another? Look at the front end of the slide rails at the rear of the spring tunnel.0 -
Forge, thanks for all your help! I recently got a spring with more resistance so I'll see what that does....I'll also shape the guide....I have another and they seem to be relatively cheap even for a quality one. Thanks!0 -
I see a little step there at the end of the rails. I would file the areas of the recoil spring guide that are getting dented to clear it. 0 -
Sorry Hawk....misread your post.[:I]
I'm going to try cleaning/filing the rod as you and forge mentioned....I also moved up to a 18 pound spring. I'll post pics when done and after I go to the range this weekend.0
