Pistol magazine springs.

The primers used back then were corrosive, I hope the barrel was well cleaned after useing those rounds from 1915. Best to remove barrel and clean with hot soapy water first, followed with a light coat of gun oil.

Oh I know all about corrosive priming. That's the sad part about him shooting that early 1911. I wasn't there when he shot it. I asked about the magazine's feeding and he said no problems. I did what I could for him to try and save that gun but it was a mess. he also got what was probably the worst ass-chewing of his entire life. I still get mad when I think about it and what he did.
