Wolff spring packs???

[toad67]

Currently have one of my N frame's apart due to a sticky gummed up trigger and thought about putting some different springs in it. Looking at the Wolff website, they have a package that has the main spring along with 3 different rebound springs. Since I don't know exactly which rebound spring I want, I think this would be the easiest way to start. They also have cylinder stop springs, and I thought about ordering some of those since I already have an order going. They have 2 different cylinder stop springs, factory and stout. Which would be a better choice, and why? Also, thoughts on Wolff springs are welcome.

I have never changed the stop spring, always been good the way it was. I run the lightest 11 lbs return spring in all my pre-lock smiths and I keep them well lubed. I may have smoothed out 1 or 2 return bars, the part where the springs rides in and contacts the frame but for the most part the actions after a good cleaning and lubing all ran super w 11lbs. But I do like the lightest trigger I can and I also take my finger off for reset. I then put the type 2 hammer spring in and use a hex or slotted head set screw as a strain screw. Forget the thread, you can google it. Then I set it with blue locktite to the spot where It reliably sets off the federal primers I use. CCIs would have light strikes.

I don't care for the Wolff mainspring. I'm usually perfectly happy with the stock mainspring and (usually) a 13 or 14 pound rebound spring.

That's my feelings on the subject; in order to form your own, you'll have to experiment a little.

Best of luck.

What do you not like about the Wolff main spring??

I've had several of them lose tension within weeks of being installed. I have therefore, decided to simply avoid Wolff mainsprings. As I stated above, this is my opinion, and I think everyone should form their own through experimentation. After all, springs aren't exactly budget busters.

ETA: I do really like most other Wolff products. That includes rebound springs for s
Smith & Wesson revolvers, coil mainsprings for J-frames, and most mainsprings for other firearms, such as the new reduced power mainspring I recently put in my Marlin Golden 39A.

I also like Wolff's 1911 springs.

I like the original factory S&W springs the best. I think Wolff springs are good quality and have several guns with them that work fine. I use #8-32 x 1/2" long, half dog point set screws to adjust the tension of whatever spring is in there to the setting I want. I use blue Loctite #242 to keep them from moving, but still easily adjustable.
Never needed different cylinder stop springs, but a heavy one sounds like a good idea for a heavy recoil magnum gun.
