I returned everything back to stock and it still jammed. Then after comment about screws being to tight, I loosened then on stock grips. And everything felt better dry firing and cycling. Even mags popped out when I pressed release. So added rubber back and arched housing and went and shot and that is why I was glad the first two mags worked correctly and the mags did not bind in the weapon. The main spring and everything else if factory. I will take apart and see which way the main spring is in. Yes there is two different ends, so I will change that next... If this still does not fix it, I will be using remington free platimun service plan that came with the R1!
Thanks to all for you help... I own several 1911s and have not faced this before.
