I recently acquired the captioned gun from a private individual. I fired around 50 shells through it yesterday and had several failures to feed. The shell would insert part way into the barrel and not all the way. I was shooting 230 grain, full-jacket shells, just standard factory stuff. The gun has been "customized" in several areas with mostly parts marked as "Wilson". This includes the 2 magazines, Wilson Combat. The guide rod is full length and the barrel bushing (which is awfully tight, in my opinion, took all my effort with a tool to get it turned). There was a buffer on the guide rod.
I did get it broken down for cleaning and re-assembled. My question is this; I am thinking about buying a standard recoil spring and traditional guide rod setup. I am so uneducated on this that I am not sure the commander will work or has a non full-length guide rod by design. My idea is to take these items, back to standard and see if things improve. Is this a good idea?
Thank you for the help
