7 round hold open

Vlim and All:

Just installed the new hold open spring I got from Tom Heller. Easy job if you look at the video. (about a five minute job) I could see right away the old spring had flattened out after almost 100 years, and the new one had a nice curve to it.

Put 100 rounds through it, with 2 different mags, and all 8 rounds fired, then went to hold open like it should. Couldn't have worked better.

Next, after seeing the worn out spring, I'm going to order a Wolf spring kit and change all the others just for good measure.

Thanks so much for all the good information, you were spot on.
