kamann Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Small end to the rear, small end on the guide rod first. Big end goes near the muzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbullet Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks....the coils of the zev rounded spring is a bit like a snake coiling when sitting on the guide rod isnt it. unlike the original glock recoil spring which is a flat spring and has a smaller circumference its almost pretty much straight. I hope this is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbullet Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 when racking by hand and obviously slower than when it is actually cycling a round, the spring is kinda noisy in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraj Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thats fine. The spring not staying straight is a guide rod to spring fit thing, nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamann Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 No problem. Also the Wolff springs are like that, smaller on one end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I absolutely love Zev's round wire spring. I use the blue 12 lb, but i'm rethinking it when it's time to replace because the blue stuff is literally covering the guts of the pistol. I mean, i knew it would wear off but it's just stripping itself all over the gun. It's actually a pretty big hassle. Which spring do you have in the gun? One of the color coded springs?

jimbullet Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 I currently have the Blue Zev, but I have an ISMI 11 lb on order, but dont no ETA down here, which could take months...I got to test fire it already and the casings appear to barely just eject. Last round always sees the casing just tumbling on top of the pistol. Fine for now as long as it doesnt jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGlock Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Zev says when the coating starts flaking off its time to replace spring.. I ran a 10lb wolff for many rounds and it ran great, until I wore the gun out.. Glocks not made for a lot of major rounds. Get the lightest compensator available for it. Jager is a great comp!

gerritm Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I bought a Carver built G17 open gun that was set up for major with a 15# Wolf spring on a non captured guide rod. Played around with using a captured rod with an ISMI flat wire 11# spring and could not get it to run my reloads or factory loads, it would stove pipe them. I shoot 3-gun and do not need to make major, but don't shoot bunny fart loads either because of some long(80-100 yard) shots and heavy steel. I went back to the non-captured guide rod with an 11# Wolf spring and it runs perfect. Shoots soft and flat, very fast. Great results, love the gun. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthunter019 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I tried the open glock for a while, then went straight to SVI Never looking back. Not saying you shouldn't try it just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
