Problems with light strikes on primers

[The Garand Guy]

I have found a few of the M1's I sold have light primer strikes even though the barrel has been reamed to the bolt. I changed the bolt, and the barrel, & it still happened. I asked my good friend Tony Pucci, and he stated that it was most likely a weak trigger spring. I changed the spring to a new one, & Voila! it worked!

Darn interesting, I've never had a hammer spring fail me yet.

One of the mods some people make for a light trigger pull is to shorten that spring a bit.

Of course, then you influence lock time.
