Change the first and 2nd spring from the back. Dont change the 3rd as that is for keeping the sear hooking up w the hammer.

to cut to the right length is good if you are trying to achieve durability for the spring as well as lower power. but this mod would be permanent. you can just open the valve housing and tighten the valve…Read more
