To all:

I am now at the point of trying to get the recoil spring assembly installed. I have two questions:

1. The hook on the upper end of the recoil spring guide bar should *face* which way - toward the muzzle OR toward the rear?

2. How do you guys get the recoil spring assembly *compressed* enough to get her back into the proper position?

At present I am using a small needle-nose pliers and a drill bit small enough in diameter to go through the hole in bottom end of the guide bar.

I have read that this is a [bad wordbad word of a job to get back into proper position. I can now confirm that.

All suggestions on a feasible solution to my present problem will be appreciated.

Regards,
Hoyt Weathers
