Plans for a spring compressor

[rugerrog]

Don’t know if it is much help mate, but I use a 48 inch sash clamp forget the tool shop price’s 1 paid £8 for a Draper I think,from a local discount store. Top piece of kit fits everything only thing you need is an insert to fit the particular gun, I have in the past just used a bit of cut down brush handle, No more twanging springs and believe me I have had some

These are good, as you can make it any length you like.

Here's the one I made for myself. Centre and end blocks can ge moved to suit different guns. No flying springs etc.

Top ones are the ones I have but they do tend to tilt and dig - in .

Very impressed by the one you made , well done .

I modified this idea:

I prefer to have wood clamping the action rather than chance scratching it.
Works for me.
