Walther PPK/S Interarms Version – Springs Replaced
I have finally found some free time to work on resolving the spring issues on the Interarms Walther PPK/S. The firing pin spring and the signal indicator spring were ordered directly from Smith & Wesson.
There was some debate over whether or not the Smith & Wesson springs would work in the Interarms PPK/S. As I found out, both versions are USA models and therefore the springs are interchangeable. Yes, that’s right, the Smith & Wesson springs fit into the Interarms PPK/S version without incident. The entire procedure took less than 5 minutes to complete.
After the replacement work was done it was time for the range. After shooting a couple of boxes of bullets I knew the replacement work had gone well. There was a new issue with the custom wood grips, but that is a story for another day. If you need to replace your Interarms PPK or PPK/S springs like I did, do not hesitate to order from Smith & Wesson.

Could you explain how you did the spring replacement? I ordered the springs and have them but can’t see how they would be removed and replaced.
