Repro 1st model drum

[Doug G.]

I have emailed twice with no reply. George, it is quite safe to remove the back cover of the trommel mag. The only thing in there is the mag spring that goes up into the tube. It is not under a great deal of tension. The main spring is enclosed inside another housing that does not look accessible. I had to disassemble my 2nd model to clean 80 years of gunk out of so I could use it!
