Here is a question for you fx tuning gurus, instead of fitting a weaker spring to reduce power, could I use a thicker c3 bumper? A thicker bumper would reduce the time the hammer has to attain speed so reduces power. I could then fit a stronger shorter spring to decrease lock time.
The reason, I have a sub 12fpe impact, compared to my other guns, the action noise and vibration is horrible, it shoots nice enough but does not feel like a $2000 gun, I think this could be due to the hammer and spring guide wobbling about after the shot as is pushes back against a weak spring . This is not just something I can feel and hear, when I take a shot I can see the target image blur momentarily,
I may need to modify the hammer slightly but I was thinking 5-10mm thick delrin bush attached the nose of the hammer in addition to the rubber c3 bumper. I would also fit a better hammer spring guide made from a less noisy material.
while I am at it, what is the minimum I need to disassemble to remove the hammer and spring?
Thank for your time
