As regards the terminology of main spring and recoil spring, Unspellable is, of course, absolutely correct. I know better and should have used the terms correctly. I have edited my post as needed to make it right.

Kyrie is also correct that compression of the striker spring doesn't occur until the toggles move from the "broken" position to the locked position. However, as he also acknowledges, there is friction between the striker and the sear as the toggles raise.

I can't speak for anyone else but this thread has caused me, at least, to consider the working of the action, and the forces involved, more closely than I otherwise would have. It's been an interesting discussion..... and maybe not over yet! [img]smile.gif[/img]
