Thanks souperman. What's crazy is all I've done at this point is replace the firing pin, FP spring, and block spring. Everything else is still bone stock. Does the block plunger need much lubrication? I'm wondering if it's just too dry or something. It probably nothing, but I was really surprised to see the pull go in the other direction after step 1. Kind of an inauspicious start to this build

Hello, first post ever after reading and learning a lot on this great forum. Sadly, I think my first post is destined to be kind of a dumb question, but I'm puzzled so asking! Anyway, I'm doing a few CGW upgrades on a base SP-01 with manual safety, including the short reset and reduced reach kits. Just quickly did the slide parts tonight (extended pin and reduced power FP and block springs), and was curious what, if any effect that reduced FPB spring would have on pull. Oddly it seemed to go up a pound, and I can't figure out any reason why! I was about right at 5 to maybe 5.5 bone stock, but now it's pulling around 6.5#. Does that make any sense? I did some very light polishing on the plunger and holes per the Atlas thread and the plunger movement seemed smooth as butter. I'm not particularly worried but it seemed so weird, thought maybe there might be some interesting "aha" insight y'all could lend me?
