As a mainspring compresser, that tool was not very popular back "in the day", and I only used it once for the pic. The screwdriver tip would work in a pinch, on some of the screws, but I don't recommend it for working on the gun regularly. I use it to push the wedge out - the tip is offset enough so you can compress the spring while you push the wedge out (although metal on metal is never good). Just watch that mainspring - it has some straight-up snap to it.
