I bought this auto-loader last week and cleaned the barrell and took it out for some bang bang! Very nice. Scope was already sighted in for 1000 yards.

Anyway, today I tried to give it a complete cleaning but ran into a snag.

SNAG:

When you unscrew the top screw to remove the wood the spring is exposed. I cannot figure out how to remove the spring. Do I pop the pin? Is there an easy way to get the spring off? I found the Remington site will send me the owners manual for this older gun, but that could take weeks.

Anyone with this gun or with experience with this gun have any insights??
