Locking Bolt issues

I moved these questions to its OWN thread, since it was tacked onto a thread from 2008...

Also made it where you can get notified

I think I understand what you need - the locking bolt spring was replaced and you're asking how to seat it?
If yes, then you get it into place and for e, it snaps into place as you push the locking bolt in.

If you're asking why the locking bolt is to tight, there can be several reasons, usually little to do with the spring, more to do with the sideplate or the locking bolt.

Since matching numbers, they usually are not that tight.
