Alternative to reduced power hammer spring
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 7:46 pm
Here's something that can be done as an alternative to replacing the hammer spring. I machined a new spring seat that is (edit to 1.5mm) shorter above the retaining pin. It didn't make a big drop in trigger pull weight but a noticeable one and did do what I hoped it would. It eliminated that harsh spring stack during the last 20% of travel. I don't have a trigger pull gauge that goes that high but when I get one I'll test the difference between new and original. I also drilled and tapped it so I could thread in a 3mm bolt to use as a handle for install, made it much easier.
