Brian,

Our kit will solve your issues. We have seen on a few Champions that the guide rod head will need to be ground flush so that the gun will go into battery. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Subject: Question regarding compact 1911 recoil kit

Greetings,

My Springfield Armory 1911 .45ACP "Champion" model is acting up & I am looking for a replacement recoil assembly kit. A friend recommended your kit.

The issue is that I bought this firearm used, about 10 years old, and the recoil spring was getting weak & had a compression-set to it. It was starting to slow down & not return to battery after fewer rounds between cleanings.

I replaced the recoil spring only, but then the slide started hanging up on the lip of the full length guide rod tip when returning to battery, preventing the chamber from closing, due to misalignment during recoil cycling..

Will your kit solve this problem? My firearm is the 4 inch barrel "commander" length.

Springfield 4" Guide Rod & Spring Kit
Product ID : 10504

The kit appears visibly different than the OEM design that has a dual spring assembly, I am unsure if it will work properly.

Thank you,

Brian Mann
