Wilson Combat Ringed Recoil Spring Plug for Government Frame

The Wilson Combat Ringed Recoil Spring Plug for the full-size Government 1911 frame (Wilson Combat part no. 566) is a grooved, ringed replacement plug that caps the recoil spring at the muzzle end of the slide. Wilson Combat is one of the most respected names in match-grade 1911 pistolsmithing, and the recoil spring plug seats against the barrel bushing and takes direct recoil spring pressure with every shot, making it a common wear item. The ringed face gives extra purchase for the fingers during hand disassembly compared to a smooth flat plug.

Key Specifications

• Sized for the Government frame, the full-size 5-inch-barrel 1911 platform.
• The ringed face gives extra finger purchase during hand disassembly compared to a smooth flat plug.
• As the recoil spring plug, it caps the recoil spring at the muzzle end and takes direct spring pressure with every shot.
• It seats against the barrel bushing, so fit and finish should match during a full recoil system rebuild.
• Because it takes direct spring pressure with every shot, a worn or cracked plug is worth checking during a full recoil system refresh.
