1937 S/42 question
Hello!
I just noticed my Hold-Open Latch Spring is broken in my 1937 s/42. Does this spring look any different depending on year/manufacturer etc, or is it reasonably safe to order a new one online and just replace it? Best regards, Erik L |

Erik,
The springs are not marked. I don't think there is any problem in replacing it.

Removing the broken portion from the end of the hold open and replacing it can be a bit tricky. It's been discussed on the forum at:

I suspect that he is close to there and it is convenient.
