Wilson Combat 703G16 Recoil Spring
A quality recoil spring is one of the most overlooked maintenance items in any 1911 pistol. Wilson Combat's 16 lb recoil spring is engineered to manage the forces generated by full-power loads while protecting your pistol's slide and frame from excessive wear.
Key Features
- 16 lb spring rate designed for full-size 1911 platforms
- Reduces impact stress on slide and frame components
- Extended service life with approximately 20,000 rounds of average use before replacement
- Manufactured by Wilson Combat to exacting specifications
Why Replace Your Recoil Spring?
Over time, recoil springs lose their temper and fail to properly manage the violent cycling of your pistol. A worn spring allows excessive battering of internal parts, leading to premature wear and potential reliability issues. Regular replacement keeps your 1911 running smoothly and extends the life of critical components.
Maintenance Recommendation
Wilson Combat recommends inspecting your recoil spring regularly and replacing it every 20,000 rounds or annually, whichever comes first. This simple maintenance task will keep your 1911 running reliably for years to come.
