Springs for a IMI 0.45, Jericho / Baby Desert Eagle

P-35HP

Hello

I would need suggestions on where and what replacement springs to buy for the IMI 0.45, 3.9inch Jericho (on the slide it says Desert Eagle but it is a Jericho / Baby Desert Eagle).
During the last range session, I experianced FTF (230 gr. FMJ Federal) on the last round only and only if the mag was loaded with more than one round. If loaded with one round and I would manually rack the slide Israeli style, there would be no stoppages. It was specific to one mag. With the second mag, there were no stoppages of any kind.
I figured, I have to replace the mag and the recoil springs.
Your advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
 
I know you are talking about mag springs but if you are thinking all springs, then good luck with the recoil springs. I need one and no one makes them. I asked wolf springs if they could make one for me and they told me no. The only replacement spring guide assembly is a recoil reduction one that is about $160.
 
The CZ compact has a 3.8" barrel - pretty close.
But no cigar, at least for the guide rod.
The spring might do, though, if the original guide rod can somehow be used.
It's Dremel Tool Time. :)
Hacksaw and side cutters, too.
But it sounds like it's just a mag problem, though.

Thank you all for the valuable input. Below is the info. I got on the CZ forum.

"For the Magazines Springs, I recommend the +10 extra strength Cz/BE/Witness Wolff Magazine Springs.

For the Recoil Spring, I recommend a 16 lb Recoil Spring."

Best
 
Have you checked with magnum Research and/or IWI-US? The Jericho pistols are Tanfoglio based so it shouldn't be too difficult to source springs. The length of the donor spring (or springs) doesn't matter as long as the inner/outer diameters and rating are correct. If you get a longer than needed spring it can be cut down to fit. Is the original a captive guide rod? Dual spring? If it's a dual spring captive that complicates matters but should be doable.
 
Just heard back from Magnum Research. They asked for more details about the gun and hopfuly will come back with a p/n I can order. BTW, they do not sell replacement parts for the magazines.
