and it goes in easy as pie. From the left and it is a bear. The manual points this out, but I suspect nobody reads the manual for such an obvious thing.

I have weak hands and a messy shed where I do my work on carbines and a slipped spring is likely never to be found. I use a very small channel lock plier that I happened to have and it works great. Doesn't mar the plunger either.

Thats a great tool Jim has above. Shouldn't be too hard to fabricate one.

The recoil spring guide that is part of the carbine is the only tool needed, and is always at hand:

Wow, I feel as if I was just upstaged.

Great photo layout Milsurp Collector

I'm always worried I'll bend the spring guide rod.....so I also use a punch.
Nice pics Milsurp Collector !!

I saw an old experienced gun smith’s specialized tool that was a punch with a notch filed in the end making it look much like a knitting needle. It kept the recoil spring and guide from launching to never, never land in his shop.
