| You guys are going to think I am crazy. I have a kimber ultra. Just replaced the firing pin with a wilson and a wolf spring. I but 300 rds thru it went to clean it. Took off the firing pin stop I was careful not to let the firing pin fly out it didint. But only the firing pin came out no spring! I cleaned it look in the firing pin hole no spring as far as I can see. Put the old pin an spring in, went in just fine. Is it possible that old spring is still in there? I am at a loss of words on this. It did not fly out when I removed the pin stop sure of it. ANy ideas???? |
| Can't see how you could have 2 firing pin springs in place and get the pin to insert properly. Remove everything and take one more look. Run a pipe cleaner or somethings down the channel to double check. If there's no spring, reassemble and chalk it up to gremblins. Sometimes those sneeky devils just get away. Good luck. |
... It happens with small parts.

Well I took it apart again just to be sure and I fashion a paper clip with a small hook on one end. There isnt a spring in there good news. But I have no idea how it got passed me.LoL
I had to do detail strip because my Kimber ultra was having major problems running. I ended up changing out a ot of the internal parts. I have it fixed now, hopefully. I have had so much trouble with this gun it is hard to trust it. |
