Ausgunner Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Hi Lads, any owners of the kodensha built 101s who have done the ejector hammer mod of cutting some of springs down? Just wondering how many they cut, i have a few 101s and have never had a kicker fail touch wood but am considering lessening the spring pressure by cutting some down.

Smokersmith Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 I’ve had no need to do anything other than replace them a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen-H Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Wouldn't it be easier to pick up another 101 & just keep it for spares if the above was to ever happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a cheap 101 has probably done it's life of shooting took me 5 mins to cut the springs down, few loops, cost zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpoonlouis Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 I bid generously on a 101 Action and forend only in the last Holts auction with a view to keeping it for spares but was out bid so someone out there is snapping them up.
