My Wolff spring kit came today...First pic...

I trial fitted the recoil springs, mag release spring, and the firing pin spring. But first I compared them to my old springs...Second pic...(New springs are above old ones)...

After racking the bolt 20+ times, i took the Wolff recoil springs out and inspected them...They had 'bent' just like the old springs...

I counted the coils...The new springs have 38 coils; the old ones had 42...The new springs measure .026" wire dia; the old ones are .028"...

This is the kit with the 'standard' weight recoil springs...

So the old ones are thicker wire and have more coils...

I'm disappointed...
