Swapped out the mainspring with one of the Grainger Specials. Hammer seemed too light without the inner spring, so I put it back in. Pull ended up averaging about 5lbs, good for a shotgun, especially one a kid may use, and he should be able to manage the hammer okay. Gooped up the turkey tube with anti-sieze and plugged it in.

Need to pattern-test it with the solid-gold turkey loads before the season.


What fresh Hell is this?
