David Gregory Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Pikestaff,While I am not sure what you mean by spring rate, the spring arrangement was contained within a blued telescoping tube made up of three sections of stamped and rolled sheet steel.The firing pin was retained by a cross pin in a machined block at the bolt end of the largest section. The smallest section at the rear of the gun ended in a formed metal cup that pressed against the upright part of the lower receiver/trigger group assembly.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[i think!]I will have to ask my son, his PC has died, so I'm having to do his research.I'll get back to you.many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
