Fitting Ivan’s slip on kit, who does it now ?

[ogri48]

Ive cut down springs when servicing air rifles, and the crack with them is to cut them, then file a flat on them, then heat the cut tang to cherry red and quickly push it down on the vice so it looks like a stock spring if that makes sense. It just neatens em up and does away with the risk of the tang snagging. it may be its not necessary on carb springs (ive never cut one down) but im guessing it'll need some sort of tidy up, even f its not that drastic. it is literally just tidying up the "pigtail"
