My 686-1M's hammer nose broke a while back, so I replaced it. It was supposed to have a little spring in it, but that disappeared somewhere...and it hasn't affected function or reliability at all.
I was wondering if having the pivot rivet (zuh?) moved for the spring made a difference, but it sounds like the OP should be good to go.
