Replacing Hold Open Latch Spring

Ron Wood · 09-25-2009, 11:05 AM

Once installed the springs will be virtually indistinguisable from each other. I do not know for sure, but I suspect there are varying qualities of replacement springs, so fitting and installation may not be the same for all. Since the spring is un-numbered, if you have the original holdopen and are only replacing the spring it will not reduce the value of the gun. In fact it will improve the value a little bit as it would then be a fully functional piece.
NIce looking family heirloom.
