Main spring - hammer
« on: June 04, 2004, 09:14:38 AM »
Today the main spring for the hammer broke.  Past the years, 7-800 shots in cal. 30-30 have been shot through it.  One year ago - I bought me a barrel in .375 JDJ, and have fired about 500 shots.  Can the reason for a broken spring be the recoil from the JDJ?  Or is it only a "tired spring which wanted to end it`s life"?
