I finally found a spare Nagant mainspring in freakin' Poland! Ain't the Internet wonderful? What I paid for it should level out Trumps balance of payments to the great Polish nation.
I'm going to try thinning the bottom leg of the spring to reduce the S/A trigger pull. I tried the leather in the crook of the Vee trick and it actually worked a bit...
I'll dremel the bottom leg thinning it down, making sure to cool it, dremel it and cool it...being careful not to cook it, letting it cool and not let it loose its spring temper.
I'll take one shot at modifying the golden Polish spring. If I ruin it, I'm not buying another.
I should prob move this to another area...at some point if we start talking about it.
