Re: Can't get slide on with Wolff recoil springs

Damn, that might've been it, sticking out just a hair. Thank you sir, seems to work, now I'll have to go shoot it. What puzzled me though is that I could switch to the original spring and it would go on easy, even with the stop sticking out.

Re: Can't get slide on with Wolff recoil springs

Bump of sorts.

Re: Can't get slide on with Wolff recoil springs

Thanks. Is there a guide anywhere, or how much? A few mm, or a whole rotation of the coil?
I will contact Wolff too and post what they say.

Re: Can't get slide on with Wolff recoil springs

Yes and yes! Will try to flip it just in case I'm looking at the width wrong. I tried it with the original spring and it works fine.

Can't get slide on with Wolff recoil springs

Hi, I just joined. I did a search, but didn't find a definitive answer. I got the recoil pack from Wolff. Whether trying the 20 or 22 pound recoil spring (one that goes around the barrel), I cannot get the slide back on. I can pull it back all the way and down (with more effort than the original spr...
