Too strong a spring will beat the crap out of it too.
Does the NOS spring have the same number of coils?

And one final note - I got a copy of Jane's infantry weapons (1988-9) around the same time as my CZ. I excitedly flipped to the section on pistols of Czechoslovakia, and it turns out Mr. Hogg is not a fan:
"There are various unsatisfactory aspects of the design, and these have been accentuated by the use of inferior materials and doubtful production processes. The result is a poor pistol has proved itself to be unreliable in use."
I clearly got the ugly duckling of the group. Oh well...at least it has an original magazine which somewhat makes me feel better about the more worn blue on the top of the slide.
Had my OWS CZ50 out to the range today and it cycled like a dream. Even the wife enjoyed shooting it. And yes, I upgrade it with a set of wood grips and it accompanied my Type 54 and my Security 9 to the range.
What are the grips?
DK sent an email yesterday stating they have Carcano clips in stock. The email also stated they would have a large batch of Carcano carbines up for sale shortly.
The Carcano calvary carbines have arrived.

Were you able to get any hollow point to load and cycle through the CZ50 or were you just shooting range ball? I bought PPU 71 gr ball and Hornady 60gr HP but while the PPU fed and ejected reliably, the Hornady was jamming and getting caught while being stripped out of the mag and rammed up the feed ramp toward the chamber. I realize it is a bit underwhelming as a self defense round but I figured it'd be good to have a box or two of hollow or soft point just in case.
I have never been able to care about Carcanos.
The only one I ever liked was one that Yellowsled had which was converted to 8mm Mauser. Don't recall the model but he sold it before I could make a decision.
