Hi all,
I am trying to diagnose an ongoing issue with a first model .32 Safety Hammerless. I've recently replaced the firing pin bushing/pin/and spring with parts from Jack First. While the pin retraction seems to work fine, I am getting way too much forward pressure with the existing spring. The new firing pin and spring work fine, as does the grip safety, but with the existing main spring, I am getting too much forward pressure on the pin and it keeps it pressing forward of the frame. What else do I need to check? See images. Without the main spring installed, the hammer, firing pin, and grip safety engage flawlessly. I am wondering if the spring a) isn't correct for the frame or b) if the spring has taken a set over the years and either needs to be replace or re-tempered and re-bent
