Thread: Time to replace the springs in my Shadow?

Just before a match it gets a clean regardless

About every 2000 rounds the sear assembly, grips, mainspring, hammer and trigger(sometimes) comes out and all gets a good clean.

Currently running 124gn Flat nose Frontier projects (from Rusa - best service and prices in the land). 4.1gn of N320. CCI small pistol primmers. Not sure on speed, but will check this over the next week or so before NI champs in September.

Never cleaned brass and they are real dirty! Building a steel pin tumbler at the moment.

Lubing cases with Lyman spray lube (over doing with this I think too).

I have springs, just trying to understand when people change them.

Thanks for that.

I also use the 124gn flat nose from Rusa - and also fully agree, great price and over the top good service! (they seem to shoot bloody well to - better than me....)
I'm using 3.9gns of N320, also need to check speed now before a another big loading session.

Also MAY need to clean the CZ.......

The coloring/change on the frame, doesn't that make it not a production gun?
