I bought a NIB EAA Witness 10mm last Dec. While having no problems with the first range trip or two, the third on developed multiple failure to feed issues, notably the rds nosediving into the frame/ramp. Soooooooo, a quick visit to Wolff's web site had a set of +10% mag springs on their way. After opening the pack, I laid an old mag spring next to a new one to compare length. The Wolff springs were at about 2" longer!  All I can now say is, anyone who can thumb load ALL 15rds into a mag with new +10% springs is a manly man, IMO..........  Despite all the stories about H&K mag springs being too soft, this is the first gun I've ever had this issue with. Thankfully (hopefully), this will be a cheap fix & a helpful warning to future EAA buyers.

| I haven't owned a EAA, but on all my CZs that's the first thing I do. I replace the recoil, and the mag springs with Wolff. I learned this on my first CZ, and I just make it a habbit now. I think some of the springs used in the European market are not up to the quality that we have here in the U.S., but they do have good steel. |
