I'm new at this and a little confused. I unscrewed the magazine cap and exposed the magazine spring. The owners manual indicates that there is a "magazine spring retainer". As I look into the magazine cap, seated in the cap is a plastic fitting. Is that the "retainer"? The manual seems to indicate that retainer seats over the spring into the magazine tube, then the cap screws on. Am I missing the "spring retainer" or just misunderstanding the manual? I can say that everything worked fine when I shot 15 rounds earlier at the range and after I reassembled the barrel everything seemed to work as before. Thanks from a newbie!

I don't have anything inside my cap, just a steel cap. ??

I have a 590(not A1) and I too only have the steel cap. I pulled out my instruction manual and the only mention of a magazine spring retainer was for the Model 835 disassembly instructions. Just my $0.02
