    Default Re: Freakin cylinder stop spring

    Sorry. It's all hidden inside the gun.

    I did come up with a way of controlling that 18-pound rebound spring though. Install the spring inside the rebound block, install/engage the block with the trigger strut, then insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver point into the spring (won't go in the spring, just engages it) and push it into the block, keeping downward pressure on the spring as it slips coil by coil over the pin that eventually captures it. Each coil will catch on the pin. Make the pin work for you. It's so effective, it can be done without a box or plastic baggie!

    I think the tool from wheeler is like 5$. I bought two...and promptly lost both of them.

    I've done it without the tool. It can be done.

    I bought a steel bowl with a magnet on the bottom from auto parts store. Keeps the teeny bits secure.
