I have a 617 inbound and have been reading all the info I can find on the 617's trigger on many different forums. I have yet to find a post where someone has taken the time to actually measure trigger pulls before, during, and after changing the springs.
What got me thinking about the numbers is the fact that you cannot change out the mainspring for the Wolff reduced power mainspring without using a longer screw in place of the factory strain screw. The longer strain screw increases preload on the mainspring and in my mind that is equivalent to using a heavier mainspring...no?
My question is...Has anyone measured both DA and SA trigger pulls and have numbers to share on the following...the reduced weight rebound springs with factory mainspring...reduced rebound and Wolff standard power mainspring...reduced rebound and Wolff reduced power mainspring with the longer set screw in place of the factory strain screw...etc.?
I'm really interested to find out if the reduced power mainspring and longer strain screw actually provide a lighter trigger pull then the factory or Wolff standard mainspring..and by how much!?
If there are no numbers out there and someone wants to lend me their trigger scale when I do mine I'd be happy to share the numbers with the world.
