Am I the only person that noticed this, but the spring fit on my Lvl 10 is very tight. Just to remove the spring from the bolt takes some elbow grease. Wipe all the oil off (so fingers wont slip) then pull apart with all my might while twisting the spring saide to side.
The setup has been broken in for some time now. Medium cut spring has a looser fit than the longest spring, but the longest spring has already gone through a case and been dry fired a ton of times. This combo is excessively tight and I feel like this spring will never break in.
What Im concerned about is if this tight fit is hurting efficiency of system. Not only does the accumulator pressure have to overcome the spring rate, but also frictional forces from the tight fit.
Are these 2 parts even suppose to be so tight? I was thing of polishing the extrior of the bolt and maybe the ID of the to free up some tolerances. Not to the point where the bolt will have major play, but can actually move freely in the spring.
Any comments/suggestions?
