See if you think new Wolff #38 spring might help my problem. My concern is spring too weak, too much recoil and wear and tear on Toggle and Mech? Slamming it back etc. Shooting Fiocchi 7.65s and by all accounts too weak so maybe weaker spring is good idea.

Thanks

Unless you measure the compression strength of both springs, you will not know if changing springs will help or hurt.

Without measurement it is trial and error.

One can measure the Wolf springs and find that the labeled rating has little to do with the actual strength of the spring in the package. So again hit and miss- I know I have measured the Wolf springs, they are not consistent. There is a thread or several on this board or the other one relating to mainsprings and Wolf springs included.

No one can say whether a spring change will solve your problem or make it worse- you will just have to experiment.

I know this does not help much, but that is the situation with mainsprings and particularly springs for the 7,65mm luger.
