Return spring is in. I should take it out and break a few edges, polish and blue. I was very lucky to get it from Mike Del Grosso in Wilmington DE. For five bucks a much better deal than the "we could care less" treatment I got from Brownell--that's BROWNELL, BROWNELL, BROWNELL, the folks with no specs on a smith's spring kit! But I have another spring on the way from a member here and will probably send it back as I think this one is pretty close to the original. Had to lap a 1/16" plus a smidge from the width and take the ball end down about half. I actually did lap off the excess width on wet or dry 120 grt and cleaned up with 220 and 320 contacted to a couple of "strops" of tempered Masonite. I really didn't want to take a chance of cooking it on a dry grinding wheel or belt sander. Frame and trigger plate have been degreased now and look a bit better and work a bit better with Ed's Red working it's way around in there. Stock in process but no photo until I get a roundtuit!
