    Everyone I know used to use a sash cramp as a spring compressor. However most modern spring rifles have springs with very little preload so compressors are not needed. What rifle do you have?

    I was going to suggest a sash cramp, or a mod of a sealant gun. I had a corking lever (homemade wine) extended and vertically mounted with a slot in the bench for the shorter springs in the HW77 and TX200
