If I am correct in my supposition than the "original" action did not feel like what you have now. As for Renner provided assist springs and repetitions... I think that each set comes with the springs graduated in 2 or 3 sizes...look for the markings and or measure the spring dimensions. BTW David your expalnation of assist spring methodology was very clear and direct..thanks. Jim Bryant (FL)
