Pocket Bushman spring mod?

[rdg]

Has anyone tried shortening the spring on the Pocket Bushman? If so, how did it work? I just watched a video on facebook in which that was done and I'm kind of tempted to try it. Looking for input from anyone who has experience before I do so.

Why shorten it?

 

[rdg]

Thinking it would reduce the pull just a little. Was wondering if anyone had tried it and if so what they thought of the results.

I disremember who at the moment, but somebody who posts on BF has done it.

Yeah they can be a bit hard to disengage

I knocked a coil or two off mine, don't remember specifically right this second...works great still

Dremel, cut off wheel and a steady hand should do it?

Sure, I think I'm going take a little off mine. Should make it easier to open and close and not compromise the effectiveness of the lock.
