Default 1911 Wilson Recoil Springs

Doctorxring,
I have compiled some information on Wilson Combat spring sizes over the years.
Stock on a 5.00" 1911 is sometimes 14# if it is for a 200 gr. target load (under 770 fps)
It is usually 16# for a "standard factory ball ammo".

I have recorded some coil wire diameter sizes as a reference;
10# = .039" Dia.
12# = .041"
14# = .043"
15# = .045"
17# = .046"
18.5# = .047"
20# = .048"

Regards,
BM1
