Thanks Leo and MikeP for the info.

I didn't really plan on shooting it, but the thought of it sitting there with possible crud and maybe even corrosive residues in it made me cringe.

I have sprayed some Dry Lube down it a few times...but really wanted to clean it right.

However, now that I realize I could be risking that mainspring merely by messing with it at all, I am having second thoughts.

Thing is, I don't know if someone *might* have cranked on the cocking lever during the last few decades, just to test it.

Arrrrgh, on the horns of a dilemna. Even more confusing than the single horned "mono-lemna"

And, yepp, I have also heard the term "Finger Chopper" about these mags.

Thanks again, my faith has been restored, that someone, somewhere, on this board, knows the answer to almost any question.
