glb8686 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 My 686 is fairly new in terms to carts through it so the springs are still very, very stiff. I fancy chopping them down so a) breaking the gun is easier and b) the carts arnt ejected quite so vigorously. Any advice guys? Also where can I get new springs for when I knacker these?

bubble Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 springs are very 'fickle' I have a car with a front door , from the 60's the spring in the opening assister was not up to the job and the door tended to fall slightly towards closed, instead of remaining fully open. it only needed a penny washer under the spring to fix the power, i.e. extending the spring 2mm. my guess is that beretta spent a long time thinking about your springs and its unlikely you will beat them B) still let us know neill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wj939 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Stiffness on breaking will be because it's New. You'll likely find that when breaking the gun the stiffness is related to re cocking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 The ejector springs are nothing to do with opening the gun, they are compressed only when closing. The stiffness could be due to lack of grease on the forend knuckle where it slides against the nose of the action on opening and/or general newness. New 686/7/2 family guns take about 2K shells to free up properly, by which time you'll be quite used to the ejectors. If you really want extractors, the Prevails and 692s have a selectable ejector/extractor function built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettadevon Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 For all my Beretta spares i go to www.gunspares.co.uk. Chambers Gunmakers have never failed me yet on there spares supply and there speed of delivery. I feel lost when my Beretta Ultralight is out of action for even 1 day!!! As for the springs i would say leave them alone, apply a little grease to the hinge pins and to the front of the action body so to allow the fore end to slide a little easier. As for bedding in, my Ultralight took probably between 2 - 3000 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glb8686 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 It's all lubed up well so I guess it's just the re-cocking. Will just keep putting shells through it and hope it frees up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
station Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 After a thousand plus shells it will feel loads easier to break. It's one of the bad things of having a new gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
