In my last 2 trips to the range, my CE II has had a few failures to feed. I have approximately 3500 rounds through the gun now.
At about 1700 rounds, I had the ramp polished, the chamber throated and the extractor replaced as I had some issues back then. The gun has functioned flawlessly since then.
In the last 2 days, I have had 5-6 failures to feed in 130 rounds. I have taken the mags apart and cleaned them about 1000 rounds ago. The gun was cleaned right before these failures.
All 3500 rounds have been factory ammo (S & B, Federal, or CCI Blazer) with most being ball ammo and some being JHP. The recent failures were all ball ammo.
Is it time for a new recoil spring? I have read these springs have an approximate life of 3000 rounds before needing replacement.
If so, how many pounds should I go with (16lb or 18lb)?
Thanks in advance for your help.
