    If you leave a spring cocked for a length of time causes a spring to lose its strength.

    It won't be me doing that BC. too great a chance of accidental discharge.
    I once viewed a Meteor at a Nottingham auction house, picked it up, put a bit of pressure on the trigger and it was cocked.
    I decocked it and complained to a staff member. Oh they do that sometimes he said meaning other viewers. it wasn't loaded but can you imagine the bang it would have been made if dry fired.
    The more I think I know, the more I realise the less I know.
