Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sized to match the corresponding detent ball kit, so it is intended as a refill rather than a standalone spring assortment.
- The kit is organized around eight popular detent ball sizes, which may not cover every gunsmithing application.
- Each spring is 3/4" long, so the usable length depends on the specific job and whether it can be divided as noted.
- Sold as a 20-pack refill, which is practical for repeat use but may be more than needed for occasional projects.
