First thing I did was measure the effort it took to open the action and the trigger pull.
Using a Lyman digital trigger pull gauge, I attempted to measure the force required to open the lever fully. The gauge's max limit is 12 pounds and this lever friction exceeded this! The trigger pull was 6.2 oz.
After the action work, the action opened to full with 3.6 pounds of pull and the trigger is now a nice crisp 3pounds, 2 oz.
The springs that are replaced are the hammer spring, the trigger spring, the lever lock spring and the ejection spring.
I'll post a full review with pictures at some point.
Every single edge within the receiver on this rifle were knife sharp. Using a set of India stones, a small file and 400 grit wet/dry sand paper on a piece of perfectly flat granite, I rolled all edges and any area that showed signs of rubbing.
I decided to do a bit of jewelling on areas that were exposed. Jewelling not only looks neat, it holds oil a bit better than polished steel.

The rifle is now slick as snot! It's amazing how rough this action was before. Taking your rifle apart, installing a spring kit and doing a bit of smoothing of all surfaces is highly recommended.
