I installed a Wolff mainspring for the first time today. It took about fifteen minutes to install the 36 lb. spring. I tried to follow Thorâ??s directions but whenever I tried to start the main spring into the frame (step 6); the guide rod would come unhooked from the mainspring. In the end I wound up compressing the spring in the frame. Is there a trick to step 6?
I would think that the Germans did not have people in the Luger factories installing these springs armed with only a drift pin and pair of pliers. I assume that some sort of tool was used. I have read several posts where people mention tools to install mainsprings but no photos are posted. Did the Germans have a main spring installer tool and if so can someone post some photos of one? Thanks, Chris |
