Arnut62 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Installed a cylinder and slide hammer and spring kit on my Colt Competition 1911. With out the recoil spring the slide moves fine. When I install the recoil spring the slide will not move. What did I do wrong when I installed the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike21STI Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Did you make sure your slide stop went through the barrel link when you reassembled it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'm sure I saw a recent discussion somewhere about a similar thing. Did you do anything about guide rod or reverse plug? Is the new spring longer than the original? Same diameter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpulled Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I’ve had the barrel link pin come loose in mine from not being staked very well. It would work itself loose on one side and cause issues. Also had the guide rod not stay seated against the barrel and that caused a similar issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
