Hopefully someone much more qualified than I will come along and have some insight to your question. As I said earlier I have ordered the Wolff spring kit and will be diving in at the beginning of the week with the help of a friend that is pretty handy with this sort of thing. I will report back.

The gun was bought for me and your point of "buying anyway" is well taken but unnecessary. I knew what I was getting into and all is good no matter how it turns out. I was just looking for a little experience with the spring changes.

Thanks for the replies guys. Just in case anyone is interested I should explain a little more. While firing single action the trigger is very acceptable, clean and smooth, not much different than my Security Six. The problem with single action is the hammer is very tight. So much so that my...

Can you tell me what you mean when you say "early production unit". Mine is 2013 production unit and I have read that it comes with a #14 hammer spring. I was hoping that the #12 would still reliably fire.

Just received a NIB SP101 22lr. All reviews on this gun warned me that the trigger and hammer pull were extreme but I purchased it none the less. I was hoping for some first hand experience from someone that has purchased the Wolff spring set for this revolver. I know that the Wolff website...

You sure don't hear or read many negative things about them. I justified the rifle as a lighter shooting range gun, varmint gun and 2nd deer gun. I will figure out something on the sling issue, maybe one of those that don't require studs at all. My more pressing issue right now is making a...

You are most likely correct and it will not be a big deal to take care of. The pictures on their website show my rifle, which is the straight stock non take down model, as I received it. But the picture contradicts the written description, which is why I asked for anyone's experience. Thanks...

I just received my NIB BLR Lightweight in 243. Beautiful rifle and I am very excited to get it out to the range this weekend. I am confused about one thing though, I bought the rifle understanding that studs for a sling were pre-drilled per Browning's website. This doesn't seem to be the case...

peep sights I would like some advice on peep sights for my 1951 model 39A that I have recently purchased. I would like to go with a receiver sight as I have learned that the screws on the side of the receiver will allow mounting and I don't want to have new holes drilled into the rifle. At...

I hope someone with alot more know-how than me chimes in, but what I know of so far is that the 4 holes in the bbl are there for a scope mount. What I dont know is if a current scope mount is made, or if I have to hunt down an antique. Just by chance I have located what might be the correct...

1955 model Finally purchased a 39A last weekend after discovering this thread last year. I have not been out to the range yet but it looks like I will be able to this weekend. I am very interested in scoping this rifle with a period set up, and from what I understand that is going to start...

H & H your observation of the trigger arm needing the rest is exactly the problem. As I said I have been dry firing quite a bit and have discovered that if I use my non trigger hand on either the butt stock or even on the bicep of my trigger arm the stability that I am looking for is coming...

Thanks for some of the advice given. Since I posted the original message I have been dry firing quite a bit off the shooting stix and seem to be bringing the lateral movement under control, we will have to see the actual results next time I shoot. I would love to take the advice of forgetting...

My mistake, it is indeed a bi-pod. Is there anyone familiar with this system, it is a trigger activated telescopic system that stretches from around 3' to 6'. I thought it would be ideal for kneeling shots as well as the standing position.

Hey guys I am currently preparing for my first Deer Hunt with a rifle. Over the past couple of months I have become proficient on paper from a bench, 2 weeks ago I knew I had to get going on actual hunting positions and purchased the Primos Bi-Pod shooting stick thinking this was the way to go...
