no the mainspring is in the mainspring housing setting under the mainspring cap which pushes upon the hammer strut, which is connected via the hammer strut pin to the hammer which when the trigger is pulled is released by the disconnector via the sear causing the hammer to strike the firing pin and making the gun go boom.
IE What poundage mainspring? Any ideas? I have never replaced a mainspring before but in this particular gun it don't have enough umph to make nitro go boom, much less a primer.
The Reason I ask is because Midway offers Mainsprings from 15lb up to 34 lb and does not indicate the standard poundage of a 1911A1 mainspring.
Anyway I appreciate the responses guys. . . . Any ideas about the actual mainspring?
Thanks

It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
