[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 799622, member: 5302"] Well of course the spring sliding against the bolt body reduces lock time and softens impact. Probably 2 or 3 percent. Go measure yours then you'll know for sure. I don't care about mine. But I use heavier than factory spec springs anyway and they more than make up the difference as well as making primers perform more uniformly. And all springs on firing pins drag on something; no rifle action on this planet has "free floating" firing pin springs that do not touch either the pin or bolt body. To say nothing about the firing pin and/or its cocking piece dragging on its shroud or sear or even the bolt face around its hole; they ain't free floating either. Do you know how much your springs weaken every year? [/QUOTE]
