Re: Spring Rate Musings

Yes, recoil springs do have an impact on possible rate of fire whether or not you shoot fast. I was comparing it to a performance upgrade, and also a way to build/relieve pressure. You have a chrono?

Re: Spring Rate Musings

Right. You have increased pressures due to the length of the barrel, and shoulder length increases due to the higher pressures. Now you have to deal with the higher pressures without causing a catastrophic failure. Reduce pressures a hair faster? Dont compare the handgun to the rifle. Longer barrel ...

From the sounds of it the spring has been lightened(pretty common with handguns) decreasing the time the casing spends in the chamber allowing...
