Pete Wass Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have a very good model 50 that sometimes does not close fully on live rounds while cycling through a string of fire. Otherwise, the rifle works fine. I was wondering if, perhap, the "recoil" spring may need to be replaced or have a stronger one fitted? I also recently read about and saw pictures of a mod to 1911 feed ramps that seemed like it may be beneficial to the Reising. Any thoughts on changing the angle on the Reising loading ramp? Something else I noticed: I believe the magazine well on my Reising is offset quite a bit. Is it suppose to be this way or is there a problem with it? It would seem to me that if it is indeed offset, that may be causation of the sometimes failure to close on a live round. Opinions appreciated.

emmagee1917 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Wolf makes a stronger main spring and a more OEM mainspring , I'd get one of each and try them. Polishing 1911 ramps was to make them feed wadcutters and hollow points more reliably. Should not be needed for ball. Saying that , if your ramp is rough with park'ing or machining grooves , a light polish would not hurt. If the housing is bent/deformed then straighten or replace , they're cheep and plentiful. IF IT IS THE POSTS , BEWARE. They mount by a slight twist and solder and can easily be broken off. Not nearly as easy to put back on.

emmagee1917 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 BTW , are you running a one piece end cap / guide or a two piecer ? I solved most of my functioning problems with new springs and a two piece end cap and spring guide. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found and ordered the Spring Kit, thanks for the info. Pete Edited August 31, 2011 by Pete Wass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pete A. , I appreciate the help. Hopefully this will cure my problem. I like the little rifle and it is remarkably accurate. It appears to have been used very little.
