Firing pin, reduced spring

[Patrick1981]

About the firing pin return spring..

Well, it's possible to find a spring that work good with less resistance than the original (and not buy the Apex Kit)?

I hear a friend of mine, use in her 625 a firing pin reduced spring made from a pencil spring.

Do you have a opinion about this job ?

I want to try.

Thanks

If you don't already have one installed, you should purchase the Apex extended firing pin. A lighter spring is included in the bag. Don't know if you can get them in Europe. Otherwise you might try cutting a half turn or more off yours. Good luck.

.... made from a pencil spring......

if you find the pencil with spring made from 0,3mm wire with outside dia. under 4mm you can try

Hi Mike!

Luckly I found a spring with the same size in a old box, but I cut it one ring beacase I think is slightly long.

In the pics you can see on the left the original, after the reduced that I have on my 686-5 and on the right the new one.

This last spring it's more soft.

Now I try at home with brass and primers only, waiting for range test.

There's some probability it's going good ? I listen any advice

Thanks
