Looks nice and about to become a Zombie Killer.

Well ... she shoots great!!! I really wasn't expecting a significant improvement in accuracy or felt recoil but got both. I need to do some polishing and spring tuning to get it to run reliably with light target loads but it ran great with WWB 230s. Had several friends shoot it side by side with a standard 5" 1911 and they were floored. Said it shot like a 9mm and the groups were excellent. Still have some work ahead of me but this thing looks really promising at this point!

For closure ... I changed out the ejector (Wilson) and the extractor (Nighthawk) and went down to a 9 pound spring. Also polished the ramp, throat and chamber. I am shooting Federal Gold Medal Match 185s (which are incredibly accurate and light shooting ... and expensive) and plan on working up a load that performs similarly. The gun ran 100% in a match tonight and shot dead flat with the Federal load. I am really happy with the outcome on this project and would highly recommend the Clark barrel/comp if you are into such things. This Springer ROCKS!
