Johnson County Mike Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi, has anyone had problems with the 6 round kit in the Winchester 1897 ? I recently tried one and it was a "jam-o-matic". It seemed as if the spring was too weak, regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSnake Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 If you're talking about the Wild Bodie Tom kit, the new spring should extend out the mag tube about 4". If it doesn't, stretch it out. Another cause could be crud in the mag tube binding the follower. Another cause could be a dent in the mag tube binding the follower. After checking spring length and cleaning the mag tube, I would try dropping the follower down the tube without the spring to see if it binds up anywhere.

Johnson County Mike Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi, thanks KingSnake, this was installed by a GS and was allegedly a new kit. I just thought I was missing something. Thanks for the tips, regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Kingsnakes assessment, if it is a Wild Bodie Tom kit. If it’s someone’s else’s, I know nothing about them. Tom’s kits work great.

He fired it in a video but I couldn't get it to run correctly. Thanks for your concern, regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
