OK, well first I have to say, the new safety spring and plunger set solved my problem. I can't seem to get it to stick any longer. Yay!!! Thank God. I think the plungers are a tad bit, now just a tiny amount, more rounded. Thus allowing a little more freedom of movement. At least it appears that way so far. I worked it over 30 times and couldn't get it to stick. It used to stick about once every 5 times.

Now, the two op slide springs he sent were 10-3/16" and 10-5/16". Is that first one good enough? Kind of irritating that it didn't hit the desired 10-1/4". Also, the ends of these springs had a triple coil (3 coils close together). I've never seen that. Is that OK?

Now, on to hammer springs. My current hammer spring (on Dad's Inland) is a hair shorter than 2-3/8". And the one I received is a hair bigger than 2-5/8". What is spec? Is the 2-5/8" one too long? I was thinking it would be wise to throw the new one in there. But I googled and saw that spec might possibly be 2-1/2" and not sure if that long one would create problems with cycling of action. I mean, I fix my op slide spring and then slow it down again with too stiff of a hammer spring. Is that possible? I might have to check the one on my other carbine.


Thank you for the help!
