The existing spring has lasted thru 4 or 5 barrels at around 4k shots a barrel. Its also approaching 100 yo. Its an Eddystone made P-17. And it will pass on to one of my boys in another 2-3 years. By then I hope to have a magazine that feeds well. With the shade tree stuff in the magazine well now, its almost a single shot. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
