...bear trap! My Miroku '92 has a coil type hammer spring. That sucker is heavy duty! If I have to put it back on, I will likely have to fashion a compression jig. I rekon the stout spring is due to the rebound type hammer, but the stout spring does make levering noticably more resistant than with my old Marlin '94 with reduced power springs. I have not found reduced power springs for the '92 yet, so I am going to attempt use of a stock strength Ruger Black Hawk spring cut to same length as the stocker on my 1892. It may be too weak, maybe not. I will report when I get "a round tuit"
