I just did a full spring change (hammer, recoil, firing pin). Here are the steps you should follow to change the firing pin spring: 1. Put the firing pin spring in a little baggie and stuff it in your toolbox. 2. Crack open a beer and thank me for saving you some insane frustration! I wouldn't attem...

A friend of mine just picked one up at a show last week in PA for $185.00 (1974). Prices at the show ranged from $175-$200. I got mine a year and a half ago for $160.00 with two mags and 50 rounds.

I too have a 1968 model with the round hammer, and I found that the hammer tension and trigger appear to be heavier (at least to me) than the 1974 model a friend of mine purchased at the gun show last week.

I will probably try the new spring sets soon.

I use these on my pistol, and they seem to work well. Allocate some time to get them on the gun though, and heat them up good with a hair-dryer before you start.

Founds this think for nice grips.
