Good afternoon all,
I have a model 24 .223 over 12 gauge, Black composite stock, with the selector on the hammer.
Recently I am getting weak primer strikes on the 12 gauge only.
I have broken it down, and cleaned it well, but that did not fix the issue.
From reading threads on here, it sounds like I may have a weak hammer spring, but I am unable to find a part number, diagram, or replacement online.
Any help resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated, as this gun is my primary day to day piece.

These guys, Numrich, have a large inventory of schematics for hard to find guns: www.gunpartscorp.com/Might be worth a look.... |

Wolff Springs has a spring for every firearms use...you just need to know the length and strength.
And Harbor Freight has a 200 spring kit for under $5. Have no idea what's in it, but it might be worth a try.

lott26, welcome to the forum.
Your Savage .223 over 12 gauge is probably a Savage Model 24F. The Savage 24 main (hammer) spring is Savage part number 94-166. As suggested by TCL you can purchase a replacement main spring thru Numrich. Another choice would be to try Jack First.
Once you have purchased a replacement Savage 24 main (hammer) spring you can test fire the 12 gauge to see if this corrects the light strikes. If not, you can use the replacement Savage 24 main (hammer) spring's length, number of coils, and coil thickness information to purchase a set of stronger springs from Wolff as suggested by vancmike to see if this fixes the light strike.
Hope this was helpful.

Wow... this just reminded me of things. In the early days of this forum we got lots of questions about light strikes. Not so much these days. I recall one of the problems that caused it being a bent spring strut and there was pics or a tutorial about it somewhere. (on the old site?) But I believe it was the older guns that had that problem, an F would be a "new" gun.
