Recoil spring replacement.

both the take lever spring and the recoil spring, well, most of the time they are little devils!

the take down spring, if I can get an edge into the groove, it will just slide in, but yes, I have spent 30 minutes and having it slide out under pressure from my pliers...

the recoil spring is a lot easier with a tool i bought from a forum member, it still can be tricky, but you use a screw driver with a bent and sharpened point and it is easier...
