strip the rifle today as it turn out the main spring was far to long. I cut 3 coils off not sure if that is enough.
before for I stripped it ,it gave a loud clang and piston head seem to hit the main body hard in other words a loud clatter or bang.
also the piston look new and it is hard but it does not slide in easily on assembling is this OK?
how much spring should stick out of the end main tubing.
since reducing it ,it stick out about 3 to 3.5 inches.
I have a feeling it need to be trimmed a little more and getting the end cap back on took some effort.
I've grinded the end and closed it up and polished the ends to help it spin.
now the trigger has got me stump the one part in but the trigger and spring.
trigger no problem but the spring?? does it go on the back or the front of the trigger.
I know the longer end of the spring goes onto the safety latch but the small?
advice is very welcome!on spring and trigger
