Okay, I'm old ,stupid and forgetful. Can someone remind me the correct factory spring weight for a full size 1911 45 ACP. I seem to remember 16.5 lbs, but am not sure, Also seem to recall the Gold Cup used a lighter spring?
TIA

I seem to remember seeing a chart like that on a Nowlin spring package one time but of course I have forgotten what I did with it. Oh, well.
I thank you much, sir!
