Storing it cocked has no adverse effect on the main spring, one could argue there's no reason to store one hammer-down either.
Cycles are what wear out springs, not constant tension.
FYI I don't currently own any 1911s, but I store my Hi-Powers cocked & locked, including one from World War II.
Yes yes, autoloading, detachable magazine rifles. But even without a threaded muzzle, if the barrel is threaded on the action end, it could be construed as banned by this bill as-written.
So the language in the bill actually bans all threaded barrels, not specifying muzzle. This could be construed to mean literally any barrel that has threading for fixation to an action, such as Mini-14 barrels and most other centerfire rifle barrels.
The criminals carrying these full auto modified pistols don't expect to live long enough on the streets to see their 40s, I doubt a possible state execution after 15-20 years of incarceration on death row will deter many.
Oh also, I found a serial number, it was hidden on an inside surface of one of the action arms, and on opposing inside surface of the other arm, I found these proof stamps:
I've had this collecting dust for several years, got it from a yard sale for $50 in as-is condition. Seller knew nothing about it, sat in their closet for decades. but as far as I can tell it is in functioning condition, the action locks up solidly and the firing pin pokes through the breech...
Get an ambi safety, they're about $85 from a few different suppliers

If I'm not mistaken, firearm and defensive use of force politics are a welcome topic of discussion here. The problem is when the political discussion wanders off that narrow subject and onto other major party positions which have little or nothing to do with the civilian ownership and usage of arms.
Upon looking at the list, it rather conspicuously leaves out the Ruger Mini-14 Ranch series in traditional styled stock, as well as the Springfield M1A and other semiauto M14 pattern rifles IF you can get one without a threaded barrel and in traditional style stock.
The weird part about this...
Not sure, depends on what size the skinner post is.
A much easier and free solution would be to just glue a small scrap sheet metal blank over the existing ghost ring and drill a smaller hole into it. : )
No idea, but the post is a very unusual thread size. I'm guessing 10-40 or even -48. Only other screw that matched up in thread pitch was a much smaller diameter #3 standoff screw for some long forgotten PC case.I don't have pitch gauges small enough to verify, but the diameter is definitely #10...
Could be a problem with bolt geometry/finishing where it sometimes skips over the cartridge instead of picking it up upon return to battery.
Could be the bolt is cycling too fast, maybe try some down-loaded rounds to see if the issue persists. If this helps, rifle might be overgassed.
