Hi Roy,
Gotta go back here to when I was still working for a living. Built quite a few rifles using the Pioneer Coil Spring conversion. While the
Coil conversion worked quite well, I didn't like it. The initial lever effort to get everything moving was really quite high. Uncomfortable high. So, I piddled with it. Reduced spring diameter (failure to fire), shorten spring (failure to fire) 'tother cup of coffee, no better ideas.
So, the bottom line was, I pulled the coil conversions out and went back to Tuna. Springs I tuned worked much better. Also, those customers of mine who at first "demanded" the latest and greatest of technological advances, also went back to tuned flat springs.
