Get rid of it, that's what I do to all the series 80 I own. All you have to do is to remove all the plumbing and get the series 70 conversion spacer for less than 5 bucks at Brownells. If the tiny plumber or its spring get stuck, you have a useless gun; not cool if you actually need it for self-defense.
The 1911 is just perfect the way Browning designed it.
