G-MAN Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Replaced the recoil spring with a 17# Wolff. 17# is the standard Browning spring rating. Judging by how much longer the new spring was compared to the old spring, plus how much more effort is now needed to open the slide, I'd say the old spring was shot.I also replaced the firing pin spring with a Wolff "extra power" spring, which should make the gun much more "drop safe." Same thing with the firing pin spring: much longer and stiffer than the old spring. Getting the firing pin back in with the new spring was a real challenge. (If you've ever changed the firing pin on a 1911, the Hi-Power is the same, so you know what I'm talking about.)And finally, I changed out the grips for some new FN black nylon grips and installed them with two new Hogue screws.
