Thanks everyone for the replies, I am quickly appreciating this fourm.
I will get everything checked out and try to post a few pics. I'm going to blow out the FP channel and test fire then turn the nut on the captive main spring back in and test fire again.
It's too bad star tanked because I love the way this pistol feels, just like a slender 1911 but in cheap 9mm. I have all the replacement parts I thought I'd need. 2 firing pins 2 extractors a barrel some barrel links some springs ECT ECT. I was planning on shooting it occasionally at the range no more than 300 rds a month.
I have also heard many speak to the same school of thought as GunnyUSMC and m1key. If it's common place I will just keep on shooting but I have never noticed it on my 1911s or hi power.
@M1key when you say another way of tightening things up how could one go about doing that? I'm new to a captive recoil set up. Also can anyone explain how loosened up or tightened up the recoil spring nut actually makes the slide tighter or looser and does this place more stress on the barrel link?
Thanks again for everyone's input!
