NEW STYLE PIN

So, when I compress these springs about 0.3 inches I get 23, 32, 40+.
Ain't gonna get to 1" compression

Here's the "INPUT DATA" for the small, weak, worn out spring (see springs in post #71)
Force required to lift off cocking notch 24.5 pounds.
Force require to lift off Bolt Head @ full fall, 10.5 lbs.
Using this and a 200 pound industrial scale.

Pin measurements (from cocking indicator)
Cocking notch, 0.005" to indicator,
Cocked and on sear 0.028",
Fired 0.288".
Protrusion is 0.044-0.045"

I think there was a formula posted in one of these threads.
Sounds like I will lose about 0.020" in pin fall from 0.045" protrusion, and about 4 pounds due to sear/cocking pin friction/drag.

So far, this rifle has had ZERO Misfires :)
