Makes you wonder if the person who brazed them together didn't know that these type of springs are usually fitted in pairs. By applying heat to the springs i am surprised that the middle hasn't collapsed. What type of award trophy did you have in mind for this gunsmith expert, cut his fingers off or ban him from using any form of tools award.
I'm happy with mine
that is mad
My mother was flexible,but couldn't do Thursdays
Presumably someone was satisfied enough with their work that they refitted it to a rifle I’m guessing?

Yes, it was inside a Gem but I'm not sure it ever would have worked like that.Originally Posted by pjbingham

Ah ok, I wrongly just assumed it was a BSA. Just spotted you are just up the road from me, I went to Homewood school many years ago 😎👍
Go ahead,,, String that bow
The part of the right hand piece next to the join, does look to me, like it has compressed slightly. Mind you if the spring guide was long enough, he could have just refinished both ends and put a nylon slip washer in between.
The more I think I know, the more I realise the less I know.

Yes, I did think it was a pair of BSA springs brazed together when I first saw it but they are a different size.
I'm a relative newcomer I'm afraid - only been here about 6 years although my partners son went to Homewood.
