Try a dental pick

I remember when Kmart was Kresge's

I grew up in the Springfield, Ohio area when IH was still making pick-up trucks ( and the Scout). The IH pick-up's were very popular with the Farmers in the area. As I recall they seemed to rust out worse than other brands but that may have been a result of hauling fertilizer.

From what I understand it is usually feed and ejection issues. I have never shot one enough to wear it out.

Close; Heavier spring does not open as hard but it closes harder which is why it helps going back into battery. Ideal is to strike a balance where it opens fully and locks on last shot while still going fully into battery. 11 or 12 lbs seems to be a sweet spot for 9mm in a full size 1911...

Nice. I have a full size Ronin 9mm also. They are very nice 1911's. I also think the stock 9 lb recoil spring is too light. I think they install it because many user will mainly use cheap relatively weak 115 grain range ammunition. I like good and somewhat higher pressure 124 grain ( or...

Yes, precut from TractionGrips whiich I trimmed a little more to suit me. http://www.tractiongrips.com/catalog/i263.html

What is a Ronin Range Officer? I have a 5" Ronin 9mm; mine is a very early one marked Ronin Operator. I have no complaints at all other than I think SA puts too low a poundage recoil spring for my tastes. They build it with a 9 lb spring in the 9mm's, I am using ban 11 lb spring and like it...

I used to have to go to the Detroit area on business. I guess there are some nice areas but it seems like the machining and plating shops I went to were not in them. Southfield, MI, and one company over on 8 mile road.

Sprinco makes some fine springs. I may need to try one in my 1911. I see that now that you were talking about springs for an AR platform. I was talking springs for a 1911 pistol. In the 1911 Sprinco and Wolff cost about the same and I would use either in a 19114 with confidence.

Standard round wire recoil springs of the correct weight. My go to spring is a Wolff. They worked fine for over 100 years as designed. I get a kick out of how some people say JMB was a genius and made the 1911 perfect; don't use new methods like MIM, Ti firing pins etc then go on about flat...

I do not think you will go wrong using any decent oil. I also think that a lot of the oils from different builders/suppliers are very similar. I use Ed Brown oil myself because that is what I happen to have at hand.

Once as of today it's been 54 years, 3 months and 3 days

Colt had their share too. E, I, D, P, M, C, J and O and others probably

9mm : Speer 124 Gr Gold Dot +P .38 Spl. Speer 135 Gr Gold Dot +P Short Barrel and Federal 130 Gr HST Micro

Can't be. All the "experts" out there says that MIM is porous, can't be hardened so it's too soft, will crumble if you fit or hone it and will crack and break so how can it make a good knife blade? Than again, if it will make a usable knife blade why not a sear, or hammer etc.

If they are qualified for the position I have no problem with them having it.

As others said it was originally Denali ( The Great One in the native language) and when the national park was proposed in 1916 it was proposed as Mt. Denali Nat'l Park. While the name was being argued out Pres. McKinley was assassinated so the name Changed and was officialized as Mt. McKinley...

I like my Ronin. if you like the two tone look they are nice pistols

I don't think it is a crack, just a mold artifact. That said; If it is a standard 1911 FP Stop the Wilson BP stop will work with little or no fitting. My Ronin's stop was sloppy enough that it allowed a slight clocking of the extractor. Picked up a Wilson BP stop cheap and it went in nicely...
