Renner repetition springs

[D.L. Bullock]

Hey perhaps pushing the spring farther around the coil would do the trick.
I will try that next time.  That did not occur to me while trying to go the
other way with the spring ---trying to relax the coil not bend it farther
around.

The springs have to be weakened  a lot before you get to final adjustment.
This must be done by depressing the top of the spring downwards, often until
it
almost touches the whippen itself.  Doing this tightens the coil and should
not distort the spring, at all.
Good luck,
