Karl..I envy your pistol..I have a couple of the ones John Browning designed and Colt made in .38 Auto. The model in .45 is WAY cool though.

Reason I asked about the spring..I have a Luger..1916 that was rusted to heck. I cleaned it up..replaced a broken part or two but the main spring was so rusted at the top 3 coils broke off. I figured why not give it a try anyway? It shoots perfectly and I have run several hundred rounds thru it with no stoppages. I guess most springs are not as fine tuned as we think?

Sweet pistol ya got there.
