Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has any one every done the recoil spring plug mod themselves? I am undecided on wether to buy the wilson full lenght rod, or the clark reverse plug for my officers. I called wilson and said I would have to take off around 25 thousands of a inch of material off the dustcover. I was told I could do this with a file. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this. I am in construction and very mechanicaly inclined. I jost dont have the money to send it to the smith.

I've been messing with 1911's for a while and I've never heard of this mod. (or needed it). What is the problem with your 1911 you're looking to solve ?

Reverse recoil spring plug for my colt officers model. Wilson and Clark said I would have to file down 25 thousandths of a inch off my dustcover to get it to fit.

I see. So this mod. is specific to the "officers" size. That's why I've never heard of it. I've only had full size and Commanders.
