Was looking at my Tavor TA and the second spring Im seeing isnt on the hammer. Not sure how this would affect hammer strikes on hard primers.
Found this vid on youtube. Are we talking about the same spring? Im not messing with mine for now as it seems evertime I mess with a gun it does more bad than good LOL.

Your killing me!! I did my homework on the SWFA 1-6. I am going to shoot this thing awhile longer with the Aimpoint, make sure I love it, and chew on the idea of dropping a grand on it..............
That and I know some magnification is needed for these old eyes, as I found out up in Arkansas.
I used the burris pepr mount with a cheapo centerpoint 1-4x20 illum circle&dot scope I had just to try it out (I actually really like that scope for the money). At 1x and fine tuning the focus it works like a red dot scope almost. But I plan on getting the meprolight M21 to keep on it. That sight was intended to be co-witness with the irons. I believe other reflex sights may need the riser to be co-witness. I haven't put my eotech on it yet but the sightmark knock off was too low for co-witness.
My bad. It doesn't help with primer strikes as the other poster said; but it was indeed requested by the IDF because they found the "standard" setup sometimes failed to reset during adverse conditions. Hence the second spring. Yes, that's the one in the video - easy job to do. Took me all of three minutes, and most of that was spent trying to get the trigger group out of the rifle.
I agree, the hammer has a separate spring of its own. The extra trigger spring looks like a last minute add-on. When you remove the trigger pack you can see inside the receiver where there is a slot with a bar that slides back and forth with each trigger pull. It is this bar that pulls on the sear lever. Keep that area clean and there is no reason for the extra spring.
Here is an article with some good views of the sear mechanism. Note that the spring we are talking about removing isn't even shown. It would be hooked on the notch in the "U" shaped cutout of the purple part and to a pin located in the back of the frame.

LOL, don't forget you'll need a mount also, I dropped $1200 total. You could always g with the 1-4 for $799 plus mount.......
I'm not old yet but it makes it much easier with magnification. Just sell that colt and keep the jacket and you will have the cash. ;-)
Damn, the more I shoot it, the more I am liking it. Clean running. Shot some more today and I am liking everything about it!! I have found no fault in it yet.
