Richard..Yes, You never know. A very close inspection is always first for me. Interesting observation and solution to your problem though!

I have to wonder about springs..I have a Luger that was rusted into a ball..had to be hammered apart. I took out the mainspring and 2 links fell off at a bad rust area. I didn't have any other so I re installed it. Gun is still in the white and shoots without fail.

I have another old beater..I use it for my leather bench fitting pistol. Shoots anything, never jams..a good old warhorse. Not much of a bore left though..
