The Nighthawk Custom Government Model Spring Kit (Nighthawk part no. SP0401) bundles the small springs a Government-frame 1911 needs to refresh its fire control and slide-cycling components in one pass, rather than sourcing each spring individually. Springs are wear items that lose tension over thousands of cycles, and a full-kit refresh during a rebuild or annual maintenance pass helps ensure every spring in the pistol is working to the same fresh baseline instead of mixing new and worn parts. Nighthawk Custom sources these springs to match the same quality standard used in its custom pistol builds, giving gunsmiths and experienced owners a reliable starting point for a full action job. This kit is built specifically for the full-size Government frame.

Key Specifications

• It bundles a full set of springs rather than a single component.
