I have an old and notoriously unreliable Erma LA22. I think it is all original but it needs a new firing pin spring. I have ordered a replacement spring from two different and reliable parts sources and they do not fit. The spring goes over a guide pin, and then inside the firing pin extension which is a hollow cylinder. The problem is, the wire gauge of the replacement springs is slightly too large to fit without binding between the guide and the spring. I am certain I have the model number and series correct. Does anyone have enough experience with these to know if there was a version that took a lighter spring? My best guess is I have an early model which Erma later modified so they could put in a stronger spring. Maybe the original spring was not strong enough to reliably punch the cartridge rim. When it is working it is fun to shoot.
Thanks for the help, this is a great forum.
