[QUOTE="BlindOne, post: 3392712, member: 1343"] I replaced the original mainspring in my 1979 SIG P6 today. I replaced it with a reduced power Wolff 22Lb spring For a 225. I ordered to standard 24Lb spring too, but went with the reduced power spring. Getting the old one out was easy. Getting the new one on the hammer strut was a chore to say the least! I ended up after almost a half a day finding the retain pin I lost on th garage floor. I ended up after many other failed attempts using a cable tie to compress it and the retaining plate enough on the strut to get the roll pin back in it. The cable tie is the way to go. If I have to put the full power 24Lb spring in it will be easy. Anyone got a better way, I open to suggestions? Also what power of spring do you recommend? What is the P6 factory spring weight?
