    Spring weight ?

    Okay,
    I'm officially part of the C.R.A.F.T. Club.
    Can't remember the Colt factory spring weight for the Gold Cup or Gov't models. Searched/Looked, but can't seem to find it here either.
    Would someone be kind enough to re-education me, Please ?
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    I looked at the Gunsprings.com site. They showed a weight of 16lb as the standard weight for Colt 1911 and Gold cup.
