Mainspring testing

[Curss]

The modified #38 Wolff spring is on the left, the original on the right. Should I cut down the #36 spring? Or is the height difference not going to be a problem?!

Curss,

The German name for the recoil spring is the "closing spring".

After your modifications, make sure there is still enough "spring" available to adequately "close" the toggle, putting it into full battery.

Also interesting is the fact that the new spring seems to be made of thicker wire than the original.

Some thoughts.
