ryridesmotox Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) It's Sniperboy's fault... I went to get my gun to help him... While I had it disassembled trying to figure out what could cause a bind in his gun that would lead to his issues... I happened to break out some more polish. 14# hammer spring, titan, bolo, one piece sear, CGW sear spring, CGW firing pin spring on the plunger, canik trigger pin, polished everything, areo shell on contact points... Remember when you are looking at these averages of 5 pulls on my Lyman... It's a 14# hammer spring... Maybe my gun is a factory freak... Maybe my spring is mellow yellow... I dunno. It will also light off pretty much any factory ammo, or self loaded ammo as long as the primer is not seated half assed.

ryridesmotox Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) I made a video... Just to prove I'm not lying... It's not the same averages as the ones above since these pulls were done a few minutes later Edited December 31, 2016 by ryridesmotox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the crazy part. I think Memphis has a thread where he compares different hammer spring weights. There wasn't much difference w/ a couple of the lighter ones he had available, including the 14# he uses. Again, it seems like Tanfo's manufacturing tolerances come into play here, like the depth of the frame where the hammer sits. Maybe you have a deeper hole - less pressure. I think we've all been doing our best w/ polishing and changing out parts. Some just get lucky w/ better specs from the manufacturer. Can't do anything about that.

Oh yea I for sure must have a factory freak. But I have another all original gun I have to do up for backup purposes. We will see how it turns out. Honestly I don't think I'll get it quite this good. But who knows until I try it. Have to order some PD stuff soon and get to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbu Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 You know, you should have a kit builder or multiple levels of kit. Then people could just add it with just one click. Because it is confusing ordering up "the good stuff". Just say'n... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Maybe just having a "spring pack" for all the coily bits. A "trigger pack" for the bolo/titan/sear/FPB. And "recommended hard parts" for the front sight, guide rod, etc. Also I think you should seriously consider stocking clicky pen springs for an "undetectable crappy reset" package.

Lol right? Haha I don't know how though. Usually I'm kind of a dick. Rofl 2 hours ago, johnbu said: You know, you should have a kit builder or multiple levels of kit. Then people could just add it with just one click. Because it is confusing ordering up "the good stuff". Just say'n... AR platforms have em. They are called oops kits. Springs, detents, pins, stuff like that... Pretty much everything that you going across the space time continuum whilst trying to assemble a rifle. Lol Having a pack that one could buy of springs would be cool. I have to order multiples again for my newer stock 2 (which incidently has a HORRIBLE trigger from factory). But I like to have a bunch of extra springs and stuff. Never can tell when someone or I, may need one mid match. Now all I need is a pit crew of Johnbu and ARy and a gun can get totally stripped and re sprung in 38 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The pit crew rebuilds his primary while he's shooting the backup. At the risk of going full Tactical Timmy on you all... if you don't have a backup for your backup , you're not prepared at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
