This is the extent of his e-mail. I have no idea of the total round count of the Para or the caliber.
"From an Aussie shooter with 1911 problems.
The Para is locking up coming out of battery. I think there is a problem with the swinging link, the link has a lot of side play, and the lugs of barrel are peening, as is the guide rods (rod's?) end plate where it contacts the lugs. It chews up the recoil buffers in 50 shots or less."
Any ideas?
