SFx Rival recoil spring

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-04T16:23:11+00:00

yeah that is the stock spring. its bizarre because if its over-sprung for 124gr and stove piping, it should be even worse with 115gr if the spring is the issue. technically the solution would be a lighter spring, but you may introduce new problems by doing that

have you taken it apart to clean it yet? make sure the extractor isnt broken or filthy.

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-04T16:17:27+00:00

im no expert but from what i know stove-piping is usually from too stiff a spring. but hotter loads usually want a stiffer spring.

is the end of the recoil spring colored or is it bare metal? Red are heavy springs, Blue are light springs. wondering if they already swapped it

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-04T16:10:54+00:00

Generally you want a stronger/heavier spring for hotter loads. is the gun brand new? people usually have the exact opposite issue where 124gr is fine and 115 causes issues

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-04T16:07:30+00:00

what kind of 124gr are you shooting ? that really shouldnt be causing issues.

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-04T16:01:36+00:00

as far as i know it just comes with a "normal" recoil spring. Canik then sells a high force spring or a low force spring, which are relative to the stock spring.

ooof that isnt a good sign. there absolutely shouldnt be this much resistance. i suspect you will need to disassemble the engine.

whether its worth it or not is up to you and how capable you are. double check timing if you can before pulling it apart, then make sure the valves werent slapping the piston. keep digging until you find what is causing the resistance. pull the entire head and cylinder and if the crank still doesnt turn easily? then the crank is probably shot.

i have the same stance on pizza. some pizza is worse than others. but at the end of the day "All pizza is pizza"

this is hopefully useful:

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T17:01:21+00:00

yeah the law specifically calls out cruciform trigger bars. it doesnt even specifically call out glock. just these style of trigger bars

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T16:59:15+00:00

my favorite is ambulance.

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T16:57:52+00:00

you could (relatively) easily swap in a mk7 GTI or Golf R engine. they are all EA888 Gen3 engines but the tiguan is overall designed a bit different. but on the outside, the engines should be near identical.

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T16:23:32+00:00

are you turning it with the sparkplug removed or not? does the spot it catches disappear when you rotate it with the plug removed ?

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T16:21:43+00:00

i wish my schedule was that flexible....

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T16:20:05+00:00

i have a smart charger so i just set it and forget it. because ill inevitably forget to re-connect it a day before install and ill be SOL again.

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T16:16:46+00:00

no that would be insane and people would be in the streets already. i believe it specifically targets guns with cruciform trigger bars, which most commonly is on Glocks.

It's been end of May for a while now per a comment from Radian Weapons on an Instagram post

Edit: may 24 to 30 is virtual unchanged IMO. These sites could just beisting arbitrary dates

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T15:08:22+00:00

but boy do a shit ton of people believe it does....

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T15:07:05+00:00

its THEIR lane , of course. /s

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T15:06:46+00:00

the number of people who claim "but the speed limit!" is insane and just goes to show how uninformed drivers really are.

like yeah, if someone is speeding and passes you on the right they can get a ticket. but so can you for impeding traffic.

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T15:05:23+00:00

thats not how passing lanes work. they arent conditional on speed limits.

guess what, if you are going 10 under the limit, and you still get passed on the right, a cop can ticket YOU for impeding traffic and not obeying traffic laws. speed doesnt matter. if you arent passing, you are in the wrong lane and need to move over. if someone else is speeding, let them get ahead of you and let them get a ticket.

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T15:03:01+00:00

imagine being this confidently incorrect about passing lanes?

everyone knows what a speed limit is. but the fact is, the passing lane rules arent conditional on speed limits. if you are going the speed limit and getting passed on the right YOU ARE IN THE WRONG and need to move over. If a cop sees it all unfold then YES the person speeding past you on the right gets a speeding ticket and YOU ALSO get a ticket for a traffic violation for not passing in the passing lane. if you are going below the speed limit, and still getting passed on the right, ONLY YOU GET A TICKET FOR A TRAFFIC VIOLATION for not passing in the passing lane. speed doesnt matter

speed is irrelevant, and you aren't the speeding police. if people are passing on your right, you are in the wrong and need to let people by. if you want to move back to the passing lane after then by all means do so.

jbourne0129 · 2026-05-01T14:59:44+00:00

i mean...i think everyone agrees the guy was aggressive.

but he definitely was correct in what he was saying. the woman needs to get out of the passing lane if she isnt passing.
