I Surrender - Time For New Springs

[Rum River]

Dexterity and strength of my hands has been waning for decades, time to adapt.
My Remington '58s just aren't fun to shoot when battling to cock with both hands.
My Colt 1860's are easier, but if the hands are having a bad day they bother too.

These came in the mail today, from what I understand they work in both models.
Guess I'll find out.

I have used a LOT of Wolff springs in unmentionable revolvers and pistols, they are very good quality and generally very close to what they are supposed to be for weight and rate. Some mainsprings in pistols have 85K live rounds and who knows how many dry cycles on them and are still within 10% of what they started at. As long as you still have enough power to set off your caps reliably I think you will be very happy with them. If they are still heavy and reliability is 100% you can pick one and start thinning it, from the sides making it more narrow, to reduce cocking force and hammer force, until you see a light strike. The only way to know how far you can go lightening it is to go too far, back up some from there and run it. And do not get it hot when grinding it, they are thin and light and will lose temper quickly if you get a bit heavy handed thinning it. Hope this helps.

I've been using Wolff springs in unmentionables for as long as I can remember

Hopefully you don't get hammer bounce from blowback with those
