Great for the price!
Replaced the Arched ILS mainspring in my Springfield m1911-a1. fit great no fitting needed on mine haven't shot it yet though. It doesn't say in the description but the one I received came complete with all the parts. I Ordered the parts now I have spares. for the price its a great part, put one in my old colt Mk4 that worked great.

Not for all 1911s
Bought to replace the arched mainspring housing on my project Tisas 1911. Top of housing is cast too far inwards towards the frame for this gun, thus limiting the movement of the grip safety. Probably works just fine on a Colt or other 1911 equivalent. Just a reminder that not everything is drop in.

1911 Government 1991 Mainspring Housing
Used to replace a mainspring housing on a Springfield 1911A1, fit the pistol without any problems. The product that I received appeared to be made out of poly.
