PCR Springs
« on: April 25, 2003, 09:42:14 AM »
When I got my PCR others on the board recommend that I get Wolf Recoil Spring. Although there was some discussion dealing with the different weights of the springs for use and application I went with the #18 and have installed it on my PCR without problem except that "I" need to have a bit more strength to rack the slide. For the $7.89 investment, I thought I'd try it out as I've read other say repeatedly it tames the muzzle flip. Included in the package was also a smaller spring which is noted on the directions as the "Firing Pin Spring" :eek  Nice to get an extra freebie, but should I consider installing it now or hang on to it for future need :rolleyes  As I'm kind of new to all this I was able to easily replace the recoil spring with the basic field strip and clean but I have not really made an attempt to do more than wipe down the trigger area. Will there be a benifit to replace the firing pin spring/ should these two be replaced together?
Well thanks all I might be able to sneak in a round at the range if the rain holds off and try out the new Wolf.

Congrats...youll love it.
The FP spring...just shelf it for now.  The FP block makes the spring wear a "non issue" for the most part.  Every so often it wont hurt to replace it.....
shoot well
