wilson spring for kimber pro carry

Well, I broke one of my Cardinal rules, I worked on a new,Warrantied gun. I went ahead and tuned both the Extractor and the Ejector, polished the breechface and put in a Wolff XP spring. I notched and radiused the Extractor hook , put a 10-degree angle on the ejector so it would hit at the bottom then, I filed a 30 degree angle into the rightside.

Went to the range early this morning, had it all to myself and ran 150 rounds of my reloads through it without a hitch. The McCormick Match-Grade Mags with Wilson followers fed perfect too. Big surprise was the brass. all of it, 150 rounds, was in a three foot circle at 2 O'Clock about eight feet away!!!

You did good. Keep an eye on that Series II safety. I have seen problems.

Have the PC II also, with lots of rounds thru it and a few years, could you point me in the direction for more detailed info on what was involved.
