source for 1911 firing pin stop?

[richyoung]

Can someone recommend a supplier for an oversize firing pin stop in stainless? I think I will also need a new extractor, in stainless as well. Does anyone make a stainless extractor that is as strong and durable as a 4340 chrome-moly one? Thanks -
Rich :banghead:

www.brownells.com will have most of the major brands.

Good Luck...

I would recommend EGW for the firing pin stop and Caspian for the stainless extractor.

Stainless steel does not harden correctly to create the spring action required to make a good extractor. A carbon steel extraactor with the blue removed works better.

Wow-first I've heard of that-I'm not THATanal-if it really is better, I'll just run a blued extractor...
