Well, I finally got around to the new stronger spring installation and it was long enough that I could not compress it enough to get the pin retaining screw back in. The new one is a full inch longer and much stronger. I ended up stretching out the original spring and putting it back in. With evacuations for the River and Ranch fire and 300,000 acres burned, I havent been able to go out and test fire it. If it still doesnt work, I will cut the new spring a little and try again. Working on old guns is therapy while half of the county is burning. The new California State Bird is a 727 spewing red retardant out of its rear end. Grant.
