Remington 1875

[STONEY BURKE]

Does anyone make a reduced power mainspring for an 1875 Uberti?  Thanks.

Stoney,
     I have not seen any, but you can hour glass yours and get the same results. If you are concerned, buy a spare or two, they are cheap. When shaping, do not getit too hot and radius the edges. Do a little at a time until you get the feel you want.

Thanks Klondike.  After looking around for springs and not finding any, I figured I'd probably have to try it myself.  Don't know if you're familiar with the gun, but there's a small screw on the inside bottom of the grip that apparently increases/decreases tension on the spring.  What exactly does this adjust?  I've played with it a little bit, but I can't really tell any changes other than the hammer won't cock if it's screwed out too much.  Thanks again.

Actually it just holds the spring in place.

   For springs you can always check out Wolff gun springs.  Your Remington is not listed but you can always go to this page,

I have heard that the Wolf SAA spring can be shortened to fit and works good. I just hour glassed mine and it works great. I bought a spare just in case I went too far, but that didn't happen, so I still have the spare. I'll reshape it to match this one and simply switch it into the next pistol (which I pick up Tuesday, YE-AH!).

Stoney,

I just received an e-mail from EMF that they have reduced springs on sale at the moment.
