My brother and I would request the catalogs from the various firearms companies and lust at the shiny objects of our desires in the 70's. One of which was a Gold Cup National Match. While I have a Colt Combat Elite series 80 I've had since 91 that I have shot 1000's of rounds through with great satisfaction, I've not owned a Gold Cup but my friend Jorge had one NIB he decided I needed more than him. I assume the 2nd spring is for a heavier, or lighter, load but there were no instructions in the box about what or where to use it.

There is action pistol shooting at my new club I may do and I certainly enjoy the bowling pin shoot at the CF pig hunt so maybe I'll end up being a decent pistol shot if I spent some time at it. Regardless, looking forward to doing some loading and shooting.
