Wolff #51821 (21#) retrofit spring set as new (Kimber is rated 18# stock) - Pounds of force with slide at rest position = 9.6# (New Kimber = 5.9#)
- Pounds of force at full recoil position = 22.0# (New Kimber = 18.7#)
These are stout! |
Will it cycle? I am really anxious to here the results.
Great posts inboost! Next, can you discuss the physics of the forces of the projectile, casing, extractor and ejector and why a 21# vs an 18# spring even matters?
Is there a doctorate thesis in there somewhere?
