Wilson Combat 1911 mainspring install

[@JimF1981]

Windham Weaponry are the same guys that worked at Bushmaster before Bushmaster was bought by the Freedom Group. They are out of Maine and make a real top quality AR from what I have seen on here.

[@Elvis2924]

Good job Pete you should publish a magazine , you could get a lot of advertisements

[@JettyDeke]

They're good they're the same as Bushmaster. They are made at the old Bushmaster plant after Bushmaster sold to Remington and they outsourced their rifles so the CEO bought the building back and rehired the workers.

[@ojgsxr6]

These are some of your best videos. Your disassembly videos and remove and replace videos are so thorough and detailed I was able to field strip a 1911 with not too many problems

[@curlyrai1511]

You were greasing a hole and you refrained from any Ebony jokes. I'm proud of you.

[@ColdBore305]

Thanks I'm just getting into 1911s and I keep hearing people talk about steel housings, I'm glad you finally showed me how easy it is to do.

[@caddilacjim]

Great tip on using two rubber bands,never thought about catastrophe it would cause it if the band broke the.Great vid Pete.

[@Danielshorsemanship]

Thank ypu for this video. I just bought a 1911 and I wanted to put a mian spring housing in with the bigger mag wel. Now I will watch this video and put it in. Thanks again.

[@skipwadoo]

You should have a series of vids on "What to do if you screw up"

[@kengoodrich1]

i have a kimber from the custum shop. i took out all the plastic and the MIM parts and replaced them with wilson combat. the gun is a superstar now!!! i love it !!!

[@shananagans5]

Robbie G. Where did you go? I miss your level headed view on things.

[@rsmith6389]

Good tip to double check the function of the grip safety. Try pulling the trigger without pushing in the grip safety to make sure it doesnt drop hammer. The tabs on the mainspring housing may need to be “fitted” to make sure the grip safety engages/disengages properly. Good video still 😊

[@randymarko486]

Great video. Enjoyable

[@deesole82]

that sti is sweet looking

[@dandowns9669]

The rubber bands are great and all but all those parts you said "suck" if they come out won't come out without removing thumb safety and grip safety. But it wont hurt anything I guess, just unnecessary. Its called a hammer strut btw.

[@Elvis2924]

You should publish a magazine ,you would have a lot of advertisements

[@shananagans5]

By the way. My mother loves your sons voice. He is very talented. I wish there were new talented people like him in the classic & soft rock scene.

[@MrInkcity]

pete always cut away from you buddy. that thing is a beast of a knife...lol

[@hazman440]

The mainspring housing on both my Remingtons are steel ... check yours.

[@TheRealNakedSavage]

just incase u didnt know, Windham is actually the old(good) bushmaster, when they where baught out the original workers, and owners picked up and started WW, by all accounts and the ones ive handled, they are excellent quality

[@365carpenter]

Great video pete

[@theARMORYchannel]

yes he is hes and AMERICAN ORIGINAL

[@vulture330]

sinatra is timeless my friend, diggin your sons sound though, for real.

[@305guns]

Very good video....

[@jokerman213]

Brownells always ships in a big box for the smallest parts. lol

[@gripgc8]

You should do a 1911 ambi safety delete. I want to do that on my Sig tacops but i cant find a good video tutorial.

[@gvet47]

Why on earth did you remove the slide and the grips??? With the hammer down it takes all the spring compression off the main spring housing. Remover the pin and slide out the housing. You sure made it harder than it is.🤔

[@gman77gas]

Very Very infomative! I stopped watching Ellen to watch this!

[@Frostytravels]

good video and tips, gave you a sub.

[@binkymagnus]

why do these higher-end 1911 makers use plastic mainspring housings? Anyway, great directions for mainspring housing and mainspring swap out. Just ditched the original plastic mainspring housing on my Kimber Raptor II for an Ed Brown metal mainspring housing. Great directions, very easy to follow. Rubber bands on the grip safety is a great idea, saves a lot of time. Thanks!

[@AreThereNoMoreNames]

That's called a hammer strut, and to save myself a little trouble I've always stoned the end of mine down so that, when the slide is removed, the hammer won't be pressed against the frame, but kept the tip slightly rounded. Doesn't make a difference when the slide is on, though. Installs easy and won't elongate the mainspring housing pin hole. Sort of curious, what's the danger with the beavertail safety and breaking the sear? Never had a problem like that with mine.

[@kennethbmason]

Thanks pete, got a little nervous when the pin wouldn't go back in right away... but one hard whack made it all good!

[@rogersarenpa5547]

Thanks for the video-very well done I replaced the plastic mainspring housing in my Kimber Raptor 2 and now the slide will not move past the push rod that engages the firing pin block. I have re-installed the sear, disconnector and push rod and (Ed Brown mainspring housing) several times slide still hits the push rod where it protrudes into the slide.

[@Bulwark1911]

Mags are the best thing they make.

[@ebomey]

Maybe!

[@chaz1488]

Isn't the rule for carrying a knife as long as the blade is less than 5 inches you're good? At least that what I was told by a Northern Regional Police officer.

[@theARMORYchannel]

8 cowards that dont have the balls to leave comments

[@grovesac20]

Its the hammer strut. Lol, The hammer strut pin, pins the hammer strut to the hammer. the part on the diagram is 1r, not 1q

[@milesman69]

a concealed handgun license has nothing to do with your states knife laws

[@Mr45Bullitt]

Matt is the man! Let's make sure ebomey doesn't lead him astray! I mean gay:)

[@theARMORYchannel]

yes they are

[@Invitingsauce]

Indiana: no length limit. Not supposed to carry fixed blades even though I've seen it a lot. As long as your not doing something shadey cops don't care what your folders length is.

[@MyHollowpoint]

I'll have to explore the possiblity since I'm now the proud owner of a Wilson :)

[@shananagans5]

You do really good step by step vids. I am one of those visual learners that needs to see it done. I see it,I do it myself & I have it down. It really helps. I can read written instructions with pictures & eventually get it but it's a long frustrating process. They way you do it & tips to make it easier really help. Anyways,great vid. I love your instructional vids.

[@clap5]

It's called a hammer strut.

[@ALPHAandOMEGA44]

Great video ARMORY. Learned something new. Keep up the great work man. T

[@gpodavid]

Had no idea the grip threads were lead! Why? Good video and I enjoyed Jr's singing. Looking for more numbers.

[@Bulwark1911]

Whoa, thought you vanished !

[@theARMORYchannel]

not sure??

[@EdTheJarHead]

From what I understand they act like blue loctite and keep them from backing out on you. The softer metal clings to the harder metal.

[@doctoreff1]

"Grease the hole before inserting your pin". Nah, too easy, it writes its self.

[@vimovostevee]

I watch you video's and enjoy them thank you very much for the enjoyment and information you give me,have a good day.. stevee vimovo.

[@theARMORYchannel]

you dont need a permit to carry a knife in pa

[@EdTheJarHead]

Nice 1911 Pete, I too love the 1911 platform!! I finally picked up my first Glock lastnight, so I will be doing a first impressions video! I also got my kydex holster in on the same day so no waiting for it! Keep up the good work brother.

[@ebomey]

Lip locker!

[@bradleythomas5326]

Thanks for your video. I watched it a few times before attempting to switch out the mainspring housing on my 1911. It took me just a few minutes thanks to your video.

[@sixgunnernick]

It's all in the trigger, take my time. Thanks for the advice, really helping me with shot placement.

[@TheStormReef]

nice video

[@bastichforhire]

Hey Pete, great video. Glad to see another 1911 video. I was looking at a mainspring housing made for the sig 1911 but it is only 15 bucks. Does that mean it will be crap?

[@bubblehead6160]

thanks pete

[@gregs8678]

Zero need to break all the way down like this. Punch the pin out slide the mainspring out remove put in the new one and replace I can’t understand why everyone over complicated and tears the half the gun apart

[@eib40jls]

I've been looking all over for a flat main spring housing for my colt and I cant find one anywhere!!! I don't wanna order one off line because i want to look at it before I buy it. Any suggestions?

[@theARMORYchannel]

[@theARMORYchannel]

[@moser631]

Pete, I have a question, Im replacing the mainspring housing on my springfield loaded, I bought a Colt pin set from brownells for the new mainspring, does the little pin go on the outside of the housing or the inside?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

[@michaelpate5426]

It's not that hard my god learn how to put your gun together

[@lungfixer]

Fast-forward to 04:40 to skip (almost) five minutes of pointless drivel. Otherwise, a decent video.

[@joelritenour6751]

You talk too much about inane shit that has nothing to do with the video subject matter.
