Now my questions is does anyone know how i can possibly try to tighten the springs on the ejectors? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickologjam Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Had one from new and its a gun I'll never part with. I had same problem about 5 years ago. You can't get spares for them any more. A gunsmith made/matched new springs for my gun. There is no other adjustment as such. Hope this helps.

andrewluke Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 the Winchester 91 is made by laurona so other laurona parts may be compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 You can not get Lurona parts either as they were taken over by Norica but now only make airguns .As they are coil springs it is likely there are other springs that will able to be used from, e.g. Beretta or Miroku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I have had a number of these over the years, but can't remember where the ejector springs are. That said, I would have thought it was possible to add a washer of other piece of metal to increase the spring tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 You have a coil spring and a plunger fitted into a blind hole .To get the maximum effect from the spring there is very little space left when the spring is under compression when the gun is closed . Fitting a collar/washer will only give the spring any additional power or strength in compression as it will compensate for any possible decrease in the springs length due to weakening but not on release of tension . Just try to find some suitable replacement springs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
