I have been working on a Franken 10/22 with many custom parts (VQ SS receiver, Kidd barrel, Grand Master trigger and bolt with LSBHO). The rifle functions flawlessly with high-velocity ammo including the LSBHO feature but when using standard velocity ammo the LSBHO doesn't work. I'm thinking that the weight of the match bolt combined with the recoil string rate is causing the bolt to not fully cycle to the rear enough to case the bolt catch to engage?
This may sound like a dumb question but if I remove some coils from the recoil spring will it reduce the spring rate? In other words, will it make the spring lighter? I already have the lightest Kidd spring available but it's still too heavy to properly cycle the bolt all the way back to engage the LSbhO feature on the last round.
I've included a picture to help visualize what I'm referring to.
Any advice is appreciated.
