I believe you are correct. Slip washers/ correct polishing and lubing limit the transmission (and what we can feel) but it still...

The spring can rotate at both ends. But it takes force to rotate it. It's not free spinning. Under preload it takes quite a bit of...

Yes. But I was talking about friction at the end of the spring resisting rotation. As those coils open up the spring rotates...or tries...

When I re-assembled my HW97k the guide had pretty good friction on the breech. It turned the spring when I turned the plug. The friction...
