[USGI]

I discovered not all links post the same. Whilst trying to accommodate Jim with normal links instead of embedded video, I used the button your red arrow points to, only to find the YouTube links converted automagically to embedded video again, which is why I edited and just pasted plain text.

Possibly it does that with a phone, but works fine for me using a PC. I thought it might be of help for Jon to give it a try with his. Here's the links to those videos I came up with using a PC. For the links that I post, I always use the "preview post" option to make sure they work (at least for me) before submitting.





Do what you feel like with those springs, but although "knock-off" springs may work, the genuine USGI recoil springs are not cheap - they're also hard to find, even harder to correctly identify. The overall length, coil count, and the appearance of the end coils are a good place to start. Hope you get that one going again soon! I think the race has already started. - Bob

EDIT: Well, you were right - it did the same thing for me this time!
