Replacing springs

G.T. · 11-04-2017, 12:46 AM

When I had the magazine springs made, I had an in with the general manager who was not afraid to exceed his grasp on my project! In the interim, the spring company was bought out be a large corp. and all were let go, and so went the main spring project... repeated contact efforts was met with the standard corporate, "we don't know what your talking about!" ....

.... I wouldn't mind revisiting the project, but I've so much on my plate already, that it seems unlikely in the immediate future... But, I'm still learning!

You'd think I'd be past that....

... So, anything is still possible! best to you Bob, til....lat'r.....GT....

This is an interesting topic, because I was still in doubt whether I would change the main spring in my BYF 41. It does feel much less strong when I work the action then the one in the p08 of a friend of mine. I also found some damage on the back of the frame.

But my question now is. Is Wolff the best option out there?
