The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I'm a happy new owner of a P-64. Ordered a 22# re-coil spring from Wolff and tried to change it out. The slide will not re-attach to the frame. I made sure the smaller end went on first. After a few unsuccessfull tries, I gave up and put the stock spring back on. Is this spring to heavy? Anyone else experience this problem? Thanks

Look at the ends of the new spring and the factory ones. The factory coil at the tip is beveled to a sharp point, while the wolff springs are round all of the way to the end.

bevel your wolff spring and it everything will fit together fine. I had to do the same thing.

I used a dremmel with a smoothing stone to do mine.

Thanks for the info. I'll try that!

I had the same problem today when I tried to install a new Wolff spring on mine. I'm just going to wait till Monday where I can use a grinder at my shop and flatten down the ends of the coils. I'm a little surprised this needs to be done; usually Wolff springs fit perfectly and without trouble.
