According to email received from Remington technical support, a 16# recoil spring is recommended when a replacement is warranted.
That being said, after feeding my 1911R1S about 3200 rounds of ball, I bought a Wolff 16# conventional recoil spring.
I did notice, however, that it takes considerably more effort to rack the slide.
Should this ease up by virtue of the fact that the pistol is stored in battery?
The picture below shows the old springs in the top row, versus the new ones on the bottom.
