Need some help with an S'G' front band

[firstflabn]

Kuhnhausen shows 1.25 -.05" from spindle centerline to break point and 1.694 +.010" from centerline of spindle to face of catch. Unless your hole is badly elongated or the stock is out of spec, the problem is with a band spring that's too long on that leg - maybe by 1/16" or better.

Looks like the hole is oblong. Stick a matchstick in the front of the hole and replace the spring and see if that helps, if so glue a matchstick in there.
