pisgahrifle Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I need to find reduced power springs for a Colt 1917/ New Service. I'm assuming there's a decent trigger somewhere under that 16# pull, I just need help finding it. Furthermore, my patient, kind and munificent wife (don't ask- she might read this) can't shoot the thing DA. She'll strain like a fat man at a Chinese buffet, but she can't quite break it over. At all. So- anyone got any ideas as to where I might find such creatures? (One more thing- don't say Wolff. The gal on the phone- got bless her pointy little head- didn't know what a New Service was, much less a 1917. I did manage to keep from laughing when she asked if SAA springs would do, though. Maybe that'll help get me into heaven someday.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robomanusa Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 you may have to just order you a few mainsprings and start some trial and error grinding to thin the spring down a bit. I could be wrong, but I think the mainspring controls trigger rebound as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisgahrifle Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 No, you're right. MS is a big v that runs the rebound lever as well. Only thing is I don't know where to get the old v's that came in the gun stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
