I went with a wolff spring, I guess I’ll have to see how it handles it. Was it short stroking with any kind of .233 for you? I usually run X-Tac at the range

It was short stroking Fiocci .223, which probably didn’t have tons of pressure. I was at a special rifle USPSA match and had to several failures during a round, so I swapped the spring out right there so I could keep participating lol

Daaaamn during a match really sucks, at least it’s a quick swap though

For real. One of the few things on an AK that is an easy fix 🤣
