Shooting Bull Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 The missus just bought herself a Bond and would like to put a lighter mainspring in it to ease cocking. I've checked Brownell's and Wolff but can't find them. Anybody got a line on where to get lighter mainsprings for a Bond Arms Cowboy Special?

Just George SASS 68097 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Slick, you are the MAN! Just hung up from talking to Charlie and the new spring is on the way. I even TRIED to give him some money and he wouldn't hear of it. Thanks again. Philly, I'm so happy for you I don't know how to express it! New light weight springs. At least you can HAVE a Bond in Neeevada. My Davis will have to do until I can find a used Bond. OK to buy a used one here. Just not a new one!

RLMartin Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 When I bought mine about 3 years ago I called and asked for a lighter mainspring. They sent it at no charge and the guy I spoke with even told me how to make the tool needed to change it out using a wide flat blade screwdriver. You need one with a blade wide enough to cut a notch in to fit around the strut the spring is around. I used an extra old Craftsman stubby I had lying around. It still requires a little effort to cock, but much better than the stock spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
