Guys just sharing some info on how to upgrade your shotguns springs
My waterfowling firearm of choice is my fathers1987 model Remington 1187 , it has served me well, shoots good, and is very sentimental to me . Recently I have added a Pure Gold. 715 black cloud choke, a synthetic stock and forearm I got a great deal on in the OG classifieds, and a awesome aluminum follower that Clark Bush lined me up with
It has had a Dura-Bake grey camo finish to best suit my layout boat open water hunting
The gun after 25 years of service started to have cycling issues so I just replaced the action spring and the mag spring with a set of Wolff extra power springs , they can be reached at 610 359 9600 , the set plus shipping are about $20 ! I will take it to the range and let you all know how they worked out
I provided some comparison pictures of the old smaller springs, and the newer, longer more robust springs

Those springs have a great reputation. It will be good to hear how they work for you.
Thanks,

Those upgrades- Wolf Springs , Clarks follower etc... totally rejuvenated my 25 year old Remington 1187 - Not a single hiccup (http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t456/oldgobbler3/2012-11-17_10-09-02_63.jpg)
The gun shot like it was new again, I'm not sure if it was in my head, but it felt like it kicked less with the extra power action spring installed
EXCELLENT.
Look at those bald plates.
That's good to hear Shannon. Wolff springs are used by some of the top gun customizers and I've heard nothing but good about them.
I replaced the action spring in my SBE a few years ago with a stronger stainless one and it made a very noticeable difference in the speed of the action.
Springs are one of those things that get little attention many times but just like any other part and more so than some, can fatigue over time.
Glad it all worked so well for you.
Thanks,
Clark
