I've had it happen more than once with the screws way backed out. Take yours out, make sure it's empty.... and cycle the bolt hard... see if the hammer ever drops when closing the action.

The YoDave spring is lighter, that allows you to keep the spring under good compression (thus maintaining solid sear engagement), yet maintain the lower trigger pulls achievable by filing the head down.

Here's the pic of the two screws.... OEM on top, YoDave below...

Yes I believe there would be a point that would happen if backed off to far.
I always work the bolt hard and bump the butt on the floor.
Trigger remained set and constant in trigger pull.

Thanks for the concern and the tip and the Pics about the spring though.

Although the seems to be no issue at the time if it ever gives me any issue at all I will get the spring.

I may go ahead and order one anyway.

Thanks again
