Default Wolf Spring Kit

I just installed the standard Wolf spring kit, (main, ejector, striker, trigger) on my 1916 DWM. All the springs were the same size except the striker, which was longer.

Does it matter, anyone know for sure?

The action is great with no jams, FTF, FTE, or Hold Open problems. Even the trigger feels crisp.

Total job was about 30 minutes and the only hard part was the main spring. Very strong, but easy enough after watching the video. Had to rest the frame on a door jam to be able to compress it.

So, I guess I answered my own question on the correct pressure of loads, as my 147gr 25,500 psi loads cycle just fine.

If anyone is interested (use at your own risk) I use Berry Plated 147gr RN over 3.6 gr of Accurate #2. Seat is 1.155 Crony puts them at just under 900 fps. Mild and safe for the 1916.

Thanks to Ron Smith for the input on the psi. After reading that I figured I was on the right track, (my load would be light) and Mrerick for the spring info. Same main that came out, but who knows, it could have been changed once already.

Thanks Tom
