I don't know what spring I have in the frame, what do I do if I don't know or have a reproduction spring? I have matching #'s throughout the pistol and was going to remove the bolt spring but not sure I understand how it comes out.

Edit to add: ( I figured this position out ) This spring is supposed to go the the side of the frame? ie you will be able to see it on the side of the frame when the bolt is in place when it's all together.
