It got here today, and I mounted on one of my Bat Neuvo Actions.
The pull is about 3 ounces, is really crisp. But……….
I noticed that the firing pin had a really dull sound when falling, rather than the sharp crisp sound with the Jewel or Bix &Andy. It is really noticeable.
Trouble shooting the set up, I think I found the culprit. The firing pin block spring is way too stiff. I mean really stiff. It takes quite a bit of pressure to push it down when the sear is released. The Jewel and Bix have extremely light springs that return the firing pin block.
The heavy spring is hampering the pin travel as the cocking piece has to slide over it as it moves forward.
This is not good.
I guess they made it this stiff to insure it does function properly. But I doubt it is suitable for a real Benchrest Rifle.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?
