Nice instructions.

On replacing the hammer spring, I didn't remove the sear pins and it seems to have changed out fine.

I have a 9# hammer spring in now, and it seems far too light, although I don't have any range time yet. I can imagine it giving very light primer strikes.

Yeah, with a statement like that we aint gotta ask... Also a little Magnet Shop Sweeper like the one below comes in handy for these situations too...
