Wilson Combat 1911 mainspring install

[@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

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@shananagans5]

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

[@curlyrai1511]

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

[@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.

[@caddilacjim]

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

[@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]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@theARMORYchannel]

not sure??

[@theARMORYchannel]

yes they are

[@skipwadoo]

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

[@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.

[@gpodavid]

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

[@sixgunnernick]

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

[@hazman440]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@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!

[@tbrowniscool]

hey pete what tattoo's have you got? i cant see your left hand forearm? cheers from England

[@theARMORYchannel]

great model

[@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.

[@Elvis2924]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@theARMORYchannel]

dont know them?

[@theARMORYchannel]

you dont need a permit to carry a knife in pa

[@theARMORYchannel]

thank you

[@vulture330]

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

[@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.

[@theARMORYchannel]

thank Rich

[@deesole82]

that sti is sweet looking

[@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?

[@Elvis2924]

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

[@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.🤔

[@jokerman213]

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

[@theARMORYchannel]

yes he is hes and AMERICAN ORIGINAL

[@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.

[@randymarko486]

Great video. Enjoyable

[@theARMORYchannel]

[@ebomey]

Maybe!

[@MyHollowpoint]

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

[@ALPHAandOMEGA44]

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

[@ThunderthePoodle]

nice job Pete just put a sweet Fusion msh on my Rock steel adds a little heft to it.Dogs

[@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.

[@Bulwark1911]

Mags are the best thing they make.

[@Shrpdrt]

Great Work Bench set up man...

[@Bulwark1911]

Whoa, thought you vanished !

[@45calvet]

Great video Pete. Thanks for the info.

[@mrdreaded8865]

I've messed up a lot of bushings in my life too!

[@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.

[@365carpenter]

Great video pete

[@clap5]

It's called a hammer strut.

[@TwinGunz]

Great video pete!!! 1911s Rock!!!!

[@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

[@GrainJB]

Top notch video Sir.

[@milesman69]

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

[@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.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Nice shirt. Check out flems channel the Gunnar's vault

[@TADPOLE696]

AWESOME JOB

[@MrInkcity]

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

[@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

[@Frostytravels]

good video and tips, gave you a sub.

[@gman77gas]

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

[@theARMORYchannel]

"I don't know what it's called, but I know what I'm doing." lol That needs to be on the next "shit Pete says" mug.

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

[@Madurbu]

Gotta respect Frank Sinatra

[@DallasHuybregts]

I bet you did

[@theARMORYchannel]

WAKE UP U LITTLE BITCH! time to go to work!

[@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?

[@IPGVirtual]

Yo!

[@Travitanium]

Strum says they're great. Their company is made of people from Bushmaster.

[@theARMORYchannel]

LOL

[@0toeknee0]

What are you doing Dork? LOL

[@ebomey]

[@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.
