Fixed Mag Spring

[Stuart2 0]

Hi

 

A friend of mine at the range mentioned about a week ago, that you could try soldering the spring back together. To try & solve the cycle problem.

 

I modified my mag to fit 6 rounds within the same mag but found that it would not cycle the first round on a closed bolt.

 

I had to cut the spring to fit the 6 rounds.

 

See photos for details.

 

The first spring that I fixed was a little rough but worked. The main problem was the soldering rod was not heating up the spring enough. I wish I had an LPG burner.

 

Conclusion

I went to the range yesterday & the shotgun cycled without a problem.

 

There two things that I done differently before I went to the range.

 

1 Fixed the spring.

 

2 Cleaned the throat of the shotgun with the brush & solvent. I was told to do this from the same guy. Cleaning the throat is the most important area for any shotgun.
