I have had my para for a while now. I have done some modifying to the gun. When I went to shoot competition is jamming.
It seems to extract ok, but jams with the casing/bullet halfway into the feed ramp with the slide closed on the case. I think this is called a 3 point jam. Not sure. Gun would function properly after I manually racked the slide. Sometimes I could barely pull the slide back with out ejecting and it would go ahead and slide shut all the way.
Below are some of the upgrades or things changed prior to the problem.
*I installed a Tungsten Guide rod (Same size as factory)
*Installed a 15pound Mainspring plunger spring
*Installed a shock buffer on guide rod
*Installed a Ed Brown extra power fireing pin spring
Note: When I changed the fireing pin spring I had problems getting the fireing pin stop to slide back onto the extractor and slide notch. All my other 1911 the fireing pin stop slides in freely and easily. It will slide into the slide notches easily if I remove the power extractor. A problem?
Please, any input......
