Whoops, I brought the direction this thread is going off topic... again. My bad.
Hammer springs... Swapped around a TM stock spring with one BB, Action red, KA, Guarder, KJW stock spring (for CO2, spring seems longer and a little stiffer, IMO). Currently have the Guarder in my MEU and the Action in my Hi-Capa. Hi-Capa isn't as consistent as I would like it to be. By that, I mean that the first shot is most definitely stronger. That's interesting that you say that this means that my hammer spring isn't strong enough, Brian. I was thinking to myself the other day about how I'm not finding that the Action 160% doesn't seem to be as crisp as the Guarder. Could this be associated to a difference in spring brands?
As to sears and leaf springs and hammers and the like - my Hi-Capa (largely KJW internally, seems like a high content of steel in all the bits, with the exception of the hammer strut) seems to have reached the point where I can't lighten the trigger pull by screwing around with the leaf spring without failing to drop the hammer every once in a while. Whoops - that didn't really make sense: I had my leaf spring set up for a few months so that the trigger pull was light enough to my liking, yet would often fail to let the sear disengage the hammer, resulting in the occasional trigger pull that would result in... nothing. Now, would swapping from the bent TM leaf spring to a IK/Prog4 leaf spring help me here? Or is it time for me to start scraping together the funds (and the appropriate areas in my KJW frame - lol, clones...) for an IK hammer kit?
