For those who haven't tried it, a sash cramp with some kind of "keep the rifle in place" arrangement is a great spring compressor. Here's mine:

Re sash clamp, I use a T bar type which can lock into a Workmate or similar vice.

This is the one I got. Excellent for under £15 http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p63897?table=no
I made some blocks for either end of the rifle, I just need to do some side blocks now.

I like that - a very neat and minimal way to do it.

You'd like mine then - it's just a sash cramp

How do you people find the best way to do it with a rifle with a threaded end cap i.e. HW80

Remember trying to do a FAC HW80 and trying to get the spring in was a right PITA, especially since I haven't got much weight to put behind it!

Hi,
Your setup is somewhat along the lines of mine which I use for my Webley Patriot; however, I find that large nylon adjustable cable ties (7.6mm wide) enable you to tighten better than rope. When finished cut them and throw away.
