I know it's probably not recommended to lighten the springs in a rimfire, but I ordered Wolf shooter's packs of hammer springs and rebound springs.
The OEM hammer spring is 12 lbs and the Wolf kit includes 8, 8.5, and 9 lb. springs. I installed the Wolf 9 lb. spring. I have not had a chance to check ignition reliability yet.
But the rebound spring... OEM is 18 lb. (according to Wolf) and the Wolf kit I purchased has 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 lb springs. Strangely, the Wolf springs are two different lengths, both longer than the OEM. Stranger is that the 13 and 14 lb springs are considerably shorter than the 12 lb. spring.
But ALL of them are longer than my OEM spring and I was unable to successfully install the Wolf 14 lb. rebound spring. I sent a query to the tech dept. at Wolf.
Anyone have experience with Wolf springs in a 317-3?
