I have a H&R .22 revolver I recently took apart for through cleaning and lubrication. Nonetheless, I found the original nylon mainspring cracked nearly in half.
I ordered a new mainspring guide rod and spring from Numrich, being wise, replacing it with a steel one instead of another nylon one.
Comparing my old mainspring with the new, the guide rod itself is dimensionally the same - as I have read others posting about the nylon vs. steel guide rods for these pistols to be ever so slightly different. Anyways, I installed the new mainspring and guide rod and gun is good to go.
Question: Why does numrich offer two different mainsprings for this gun? One for the nylon guiderod and one for the steel guiderod? I noticed the steel guiderod came with a mainspring about 5 coils longer than the original. Despite the longer spring, I notice no increased trigger pull or effort to cock back hammer. Why the difference in springs?
