Me, too. I hope they sell a lot of them. They really took care of us in first class fashion.

Ordered springs on 6-21-14, Got them today. Not bad turn around. ( Now I can sell them on GB for big bucks.)

Good luck on that one; supply and demand laws work almost every time. :)  You must have received a special run because your spring package label says "Roughbaugh." Maybe you can sell them for big bucks. I only got the standard issue Rohrbaugh model.

Does the sear/ trigger bar spring wear like the recoil spring? Should I order one?

According to Eric -- no -- the triggers springs don't have to be replaced anywhere near as often as the recoil spring.

Go figure; they are supposed to have come from the same place. Each one has six coils.

Perhaps springs are like snowflakes...

I don't think the length is the critical factor, so long as the strength of the spring is appropriate and it fits.  I'll ask Eric what he thinks.

It appears that the space between coils is greater on the recent springs.

At first I thought that maybe I was wrong. And I looked at all the springs and compared them to original one. Also interesting to know how many pounds of pressure  Wolf's springs and original one.
By feel, Wolf springs harder then original.

Maybe we can go 300 rounds now between a spring change.

Or maybe the new Wolff springs stand up to 147gr loads better than the original but are too much for something like 115gr Blazzer Brass to cycle reliably?

I don't want to be the guinea pig because I freak out over any malfunctions with my carry gun, but I'd be interested to see how the guns perform with different loads with the new Wolff springs.

Since Wolff has been the only supplier of springs, I think we can be confident they will work.  ;)

Wolff will have a pound rating on their website in the near future. A technician there told me today that the rating should be the same as the Rohrbaugh factory rating even though they appear to be different. He explained that there are many variables such as number of coils, space between coils, wire diameter, etc. to achieve the same result.
