Hi:

If you lived near me, I'd show you how to exchange those springs in no more than just a few minutes. With a small fixture I fabricated myself, I've taken all of the blood, sweat, toil and tears out of the process.

Unless you are going to be using hot ammo, start with the lightest spring in the pack.

My LP-08, a 1916 DWM in almost new condition, shoots relatively hot ammo with its original 90 year old spring. That longer 300mm barrel is really quite heavy and takes quite a bit more zip to recoil adequately than the standard loads I've developed for my 100mm barrel Lugers develop.

For me, the Wolff Springs are just too darned long!!! What this is doing to the spring prelaod, I can only imagine.

I hope your LP-08 has fully adjustable sights, as they will be necessary to fine tune the point of aim for the specific ammo you are using.
