DeadlyBenelli Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 How does the Inertia Spring work in conjunction with the recoil spring. I thought they were the same thing but the Inertia is in the bolt and the recoil in in the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Wallhanger, correct me if I'm wrong. It's my understanding that the inertia spring loads and unloads quickly (think whiplash), setting the bolt on a rearward path with sufficient energy to eject the spent shell and ready the next one for loading; while the recoil spring, using energy transferred from the inertia spring, cocks the mechanism and sends the bolt back home.
