Yep - 'cause dead is dead and it really makes no matter anyways where on the torso I killed him. The ringing of the steel plate is sufficient.

As I do have some knowledge of spring technology, I assert that if a spring does not perform as needed, the solution is to replace the spring with one of a different wire diameter. Not reduce the length of the spring. A spring is a lever in spiral rotation. What happens when you shorten a lever. Yep.

That's why I do not have the gravitas to post pictures of myself playing dress-up with guns.
I know my place.

The point is, if you reduce the tension on the spring in an effort to keep the ejected cases out of your face you'll be reducing the tension on the component that holds the bolt together, matters not if you cut the spring or replace it with a full length component with a smaller k factor. It's a bad thing either way. I do agree, cutting a spring is a rather trailer-park approach to it and is NOT equivalent to swapping for a lighter one. b.

No. Georgia. Ronnie normally comes down for the Confederate National Matches, we cross paths occasionally at Oak Ridge and Perry. Great guy, haven't seen him in a year or so myself.

![]() The .276 also used a 10-round enbloc clip instead of an 8-rounder, but that is a different story. |

The .30-06 version of this rifle (known as the Model T1E2) had shown a propensity for cracking bolt lugs during trials and was NOT recommended for further development. The Committee also noted additional reasons to prefer the .276 cartridge, including lighter recoil, lighter weight, greater magazine capacity, and lower production cost. However, their recommendation was famously overruled by Army Chief of Staff Gen. MacArthur on the grounds that it would be too expensive to change our primary military caliber during the midst of a depression. |

The .30-06 is an upstart round, we need to go back to the big-bore designs. Never should have replaced the .45-70.
