hey guys

i found that buy installing the hammer spring 'the other way around' - the spring tension is not as stiff and as a result the triger pull is substanstially reduced.

is it a 'bad' thing to leave the spring in the reversed position?

thanks in advance
steve

With some ammo you'll not get enough whack to ignite the primer - especially the military stuff. This is an old trick - you can also revert back to the normal direction and bend the legs a bit.

I once bought a Hesse AR-15 {I no longer own!}
that had just about every thing in the lower recievers fire control pack in backward.It was
a OK single shot,it would fire,eject,chamber
and then the trigger would be dead.You could get the trigger to "kick in" by flipping the safty on then back to "fire".
