It appears Wolff offers only a stronger, not weaker, one.

Will a lighter recoil spring allow for cycling lower velocity Lapua rounds? If so, where may such lighter recoil springs/assemblies be purchased?

Dapster, I'm the greenhorn that posted the question, but I may be able to help. Midway sells a screwdriver set made by Chapman that has got good reviews. Some customers complained of the tips breaking, but I'd bet that could happen to any screwdrivers made for guns if you pushed them too hard becau...

"You need to invest in a good set of hollow ground screwdrivers made especially for working on guns."

Any recommendations for the novice "gunsmith"? It seems a number of sets at varying prices are available through the major online firearms related suppliers.

It's important to use the appropriate technical nomenclature when possible, hence the use of "thingie."

Thank you.

Mine isn't. It's almost painful to disengage the safety. So, how smooth is the operation of the manual safety on your Model 41?

Got it, thanks. I used a dental type pick to pull up/down depending upon orientation the plastic piece that engages the base plate. Next step, any way to acquire the piece(s) that fill the partial circular cutout in the follower. I'm trying to refurbish a magazine for my 41 that another had discarde...

Will appreciate any tips for removing the base plate.

Might anyone describe the quality of the trigger of the Thompson/Center G2 Contender single shot pistol?

If as you say, "Sometimes the slide catch can wander out because the hold down screw has loosened and cause a similar failur...

Bullseye,
I just tested the extractor's holding ability with more slightly more than gentle shaking. The live round remained in place.

Puzzling me is the fact that the case has clearly been extracted for it to have gotten wedged as previously described. The implication of Bullseye's post is that there are varying degrees of extraction. Bullseye, am I understanding this correctly? And, thank you.
