Thankyou Lee. Good to be here. Love the sigma so far.
My Sigma was made in 08'- & only had about 50 rounds through it. The trigger was tight, so I did the trigger mods my self- removed the pigtail & the outer sear spring. Keeping them safe in case I start to get Failure to Fire as the round count increases.
It seems that each gun really has its own personality as far as machining tolerances and spring tension rates. Some take less spring and shoot and re-cock perfectly with light or less springs, while others really need heavier spring pressures to continue to work properly.
So far my round count is only 100 or so- so rounds and time will tell if the one remaining spring in my sigma- the inner sear spring- weakens over time to the point of becoming unreliable.
As someone who has raced many, many forms of motor vehicles I am all to familair with springs actually wearing out to the point of becoming much weaker and delivering a really mushy ride feel, and failing to hold spring preload settings.
With racing suspensions- as the spring wears- you can begin to compensate SOMEWHAT for this with your Shock's hydralic compression and rebound dampening adjustments- and by frequently re-adjusting your spring preload. However, after a certain point the spring is shot- and must be replaced.
In the Sigma- we have no dampening or spring preload adjusters, so those of us who have lightened triggers by removing all but the single inner sear spring must keep spring wear in mind.
This is especially true if you shoot your single spring Sigma alot- as the more compressions on the spring the faster its spring rate (strength) will be reduced.
If you plan on taking your Sigma into battle- it would probably be wise to re-install the factory set-up, or at least make sure you have a fresh inner sear spring if you choose to run this set-up for work-carry purposes.
