    Fritz,

    My first high powered rifle was a Spanish 7mm Mauser.

    The problem with mine was not the spring but a high or rough spot on the safety lever. I took a small fine file and took off the edge and it works OK now.


    Welcome to the forum. I just sent this site link to a friend of mine. Did you by chance just recently buy a Glock 19 and does my user name mean anything to you?

    Fritz, I thought that might be you.


    Hey, here's a link to Milsurp rifle disassembly. There might be something in there regarding this rifle
