    True but adding more extraction force, if needed, with an o-ring has some advantages over using a heavy-duty spring. It should last longer as heavy-duty springs have higher stress. But agreed that one should never use both an o-ring and a heavy-duty spring for three reasons:

    1. No gun should need that much force.
    2. Heavy duty springs may break sooner.
    3. May not allow bolt to close over the case rim.

    I have two questions.

    1. Was the picture taken at the range or did you try to recreate what you thought you saw at the range when you got home? I only ask this question because I'm still having a hard time seeing how the conditions in that picture came to be.

    2. Were you able to get to the range this weekend?
