The lock time on the J-lock was actually half of the standard pin before it - the "J" lock pin was skeletonized, and weighed half the weight of the prior pin.
Didn't know that.
I still don't think the "average" rifleman can tell the difference regardless of which is faster.
I read somewhere that lock time is only a couple tenths of a second to start with.
I don't know about you, but I'd have a hard time discerning the difference in two to four tenths of a second.
Course, I'm just an "average" rifleman at best.

I fully agree - anyone that says they are worried about their lock time, is just "showing off for the rubes" - even a serious match shooter can't shoot better with a special firing pin spring.
Lock time on a modern rifle like the Remington 700 or Winchester M-70 is about 3 thousandths of a second... and nothing you can do is going to change your shooting or your group size by changing the spring.
