Default Top Lever Spring

Thanks Harry for the information on the different lengths of springs. I can not remember where I got the last spring.(to many birthday parties). I do remember going to the local machine shop and fitting the spring with the use of an old Souix valve grinder with a wet grinding wheel(oil cooled). The machinest gave me a lecture on not getting the spring hot. He said that HEAT was the death knell for a spring. That gun is still working and it has been shot many times. Could it be that today's spring steels are of a better quality than the spring steels of 100+ years ago??? Thanks again Harry, I enjoy and I am in awe of the technical posts that appear on this site.

Default Adjusting the spring

Folks,
I have a quick question. I have had the top lever spring replaced which required reworking the Galazan replacement spring. Can tension on a top lever spring be adjusted other than grinding the spring?

I took another gun to a local shop for re-assembly. I cleaned the action, put a very small amount of gun grease on the bolt lever. When I picked the gun up yesterday the top lever has an unusual amount of resistance.

Your take? Top lever spring problem or the bolt lever needing to be checked?

Happy Thanksgiving.
I heard the story about new cooks calling their mothers to report their turkey already has the stuffing in them right from the store! Here are 8 videos of "You know you're doing something wrong with your deep fried turkey recipe?"
