I finally got my Wolff Springs Service Pak for the Model 469 I bought earlier this fall (delay in shipping was not their fault - I somehow got the wrong zip code on the order). This was my third time dismantling the weapon (I posted a thread a while back on the first time - quite the experience), and although it gets easier every time, I am convinced that no matter how many times I perform this task, it will never become "easy". Replacing the hammer and the 3 levers that sit beside it is a 3 hand operation, to be sure. If you have access to a reputable gunsmith, there is no dishonor in handing this task over to them.
That being said, the task was accomplished with a minimum of growling and cursing, and now I know all the springs are good to go. The only springs that I did not replace are the ones beneath the rear sight - firing pin block spring and magazine disconnect spring. Drifting that rear sight out, back in, and then sighting in the weapon again seemed like a lot of bother for 2 springs that are working fine.
Anyhoo, that's the tale. Planning on some range time Saturday - I've only got about 100 rounds of FMJ through the pistol so far, and it's time to run some more.
Here she is.
