Fill Yer Hand Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Looking to have a spare main spring for my main match rifle. Any thoughts or experience on the difference between the two offered springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmetto Traveller Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The extra light can be too light to consistently set off non federal primers. If I remember correctly it is more designed for rifles with the one pc firing pin mod such as the one by Snake Oil George. I have this mod on my rifle and would highly recommend it.

Just curious as to why? What makes the mod different than factory? Thanks. Roper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmetto Traveller Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) The one pc mod features a single pc firing pin that extends through the firing pin extension as well as the bolt eliminating the extra "step" in the travel. Less mass to move so less energy required. On a stock setup the hammer strikes the firing pin extension which then impacts the bolt.(2 pcs between the hammer and the primer.) It's kinda like taking out the transfer bar and modifying the hammers so the hammer directly strikes the firing pin on a Vaquero.
