Rock Island, IL.

In my impression, auction houses are like doctor's clinics. Obviously, they make quite amount of money, but don't bother putting the business in a better building. RIAC could be an exception. Never visited there. Too far away.

Rock Island Auction is only about an hour drive from my home. They are located in the Rock Island - Moline quad cities area of Illinois. Pretty nice place and very customer friendly. Usually the Thursday before an auction is the preview day followed by 3 auction days. This auction they started the actual auction a half day early on Thursday afternoon. Usually go and look on preview day but did not make this one. I tell my wife the preview day is like going to a firearms museum but you can handle the firearms. All on has to do is ask and one may examine anything they have on the auction. If that's not enough the Rock Island Arsenal museum is worth a visit and Simpsons Limited is only 35 miles down the interstate in Galesburg.

Trying to find a 4 "v" magazine spring. They did have a Large Ring and a conehammer in this session which could have that spring. But luckily I asked extra photo on the Large Ring a few weeks ago, and found the magazine spring was replaced.... thought about asking extra photo on that conehammer too, but usually conehammer is hot, so I did not ask.

Next session then.

It's a weak component. Spare one is rare. There are correct spring on numerous good guns, but those good guns are not donors. There are also many mismatched guns, but mismatched usually had that spring replaced by 5V springs.
