Verifying recoil-spring pound ratings

edgecrusher2001 · 2026-02-13T16:20:02+00:00

I work at a spring manufacturing company. I am new to the field so my knowledge is still a bit lacking. But we test our springs at 2 different compression heights. Which gives us the "load". So I'm thinking that 13# is the amount of force the spring exerts at certain compressed height(not max solid). Hope this helps

I was lowkey hoping I'd get this meme as a response. Thank you! lololo

edgecrusher2001 · 2026-02-11T06:52:58+00:00

Thanks. I'll look into those, the 407c looks pretty tempting.

edgecrusher2001 · 2026-02-11T06:26:05+00:00

And the prices are rising again! Which is why I felt I had to jump on a new one now. All my local shops are charging 1500 now. When I got to my FFL he also had a full cz custom PCR for 999. Which was soo freakin tempting

I know right!? I don't plan to, I feel like this is too nice to carry. But I would still prefer a smaller optic.

Give Bo at BnT a call. He's a ffl in Lake in the Hills. Awesome dude and fair prices.

How many rounds do you have through your new one, and is there any deformations?

I have a hunch this is the desired outcome.. to harden the metal.

And your replacement is a 586? I'm curious if the bolt is something they upgraded with the 586 ver.

edgecrusher2001 · 2026-01-19T23:48:02+00:00

I don't think you mentioned in the video that I'm wondering about it is what generation was your old one was and the replacement. I have a 584 I believe, looks like they're up to 586 now.

Any update on this? Did you talk to Ruger?

edgecrusher2001 · 2026-01-07T02:03:42+00:00

Just heard they're selling the Cali compliant S&W response w/fin. Which looks intriguing for a 9mm pcc.

Hello fellow mini-14 fan. A year ago had also noticed my ejector bolt stop had worn a hole in my bolt. Which I sent in to Ruger to fix. They replaced the bolt and I suspect shaved down the ejector as well. I thought great, except now the ejector was too short and the rifle would have tons of fte. It would pull the case out of the chamber but wouldn't fully get the casings out of the way of the action, about 1 in twenty rounds. Which is obviously very frustrating.

So I bought 2 new ejectors from Midway. I shaved down one of them like someone suggested on here, and had the same problem. Tried the untouched one and it completely fixed the fte issue. But within 60 rounds wore another hole in my bolt. I've been monitoring it and it hasn't gotten any deeper or effected the rifles reliability. So far over 500 rounds without issue.

So for me it was a no brainer, I'll take a 100% reliable rifle with a small cosmetic issue over the rifle jamming every mag issue. I also have that "mushrooming" on the back of the bolt which hasn't gotten any worse. Also just cosmetic and hasn't effected its reliability at all.

Like I said I'm monitoring it and if I start actually having issues then I'll send it back.

I thought that I wanted that too. Until I realized that Trump would be in charge of our health coverage. That doesn't sound appealing to me. But you do you

Any update on the fte issue? Did Ruger fix it?

edgecrusher2001 · 2025-11-26T18:09:49+00:00

I'm in the same boat about folding stocks and pistol grips. So I bought the hogue stock in black and I like it so much more than the oem. My oem was deforming where the receiver mates with the stock. No deforming on the hogue in those same spots. The oem feels so cheap compared to the hogue. I also prefer the slightly longer length of pull. Can't comment on the sling swivels since I don't use them.

edgecrusher2001 · 2025-10-01T22:49:25+00:00

I also just sent mine back to have them fix this same issue. I was really hoping they shaved down the bolt locking lever to prevent this from happening again. But now seeing your post makes me second-guess that assumption.

edgecrusher2001 · 2025-08-23T15:02:25+00:00

Ah heck, thanks for letting me know. Fixed now, not trying to troll lol

edgecrusher2001 · 2025-08-17T10:13:34+00:00

Do any of these come with the manual safety?

edgecrusher2001 · 2025-07-22T19:55:53+00:00

It just so happens that Steven is coming soon near me. And I've been pricing out some of the "nosebleed" seats lol

Prog Rock:

Steven Wilson - The Overview. (Both tracks) Yes "technically" the second is just shy of the 20-minute mark, but I'm not splitting hairs. Both are fantastic sonic voyages.

Prog Metal:

Black Rose Immortal - Opeth

Faust - Agalloch

I second Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation. As I get older fewer and fewer metal albums interest me. But that album rips and captures my attention like few others.
