fortune Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I have compared the VS against an AyA 25sl against a Browning 325 and a Berretta 20 bore to get a bit of a span of data. All of the guns opened and closed smoothly with probably only a few ounces of resistance when the guns were cocked. I then fired both barrels on each gun and opened the action to trip the ejectors. Holding the wrist of the stock I put the muzzle down on the scale and pulled down on the trigger guard. Booth of the SbS's were about 3-4 lbs indicated on the scale. The Browning 325 was about 2 lb and the Berretta 20 was a bit less. The pound markings on the scale were quite small and close together to get a real accurate measurement. It is only a rough guide but this might be of interest. When I shut the guns when both barrels fired and the ejectors tried there is an amount of felt resistance but this is because both of the ejector springs have to be compressed to recock them. This is nothing to do with what cartridges you are using or firing pins. See how you go with this. Edited July 20, 2016 by fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tention will not ? should not change and they wont wear in because it is the effort needed to recock the action main spring and the ejector springs. if it does get less then you have got a problem. Both the AyA XXIV and the VS were about the same tention to recock. Be careful of a rubber boot pad thingy. Son in law got one and left it on his Berretta and it stained the woodwork really badly. dont leave it on there permenantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
