Yes I did mistate the function of that part. I would though still refer to the striker springs which "Fire" the gun as the Mainsprings & refer to this one as the bolt spring. The front of this spring does have to be depressed prior to removing the bbls & I was simply forgetting that it does indeed apply tension to the bolting.
Maybe Darne called them diferent or perhaps its just your terminology, but to me the Firing Springs are the Main ones & I knew this part had nothing to do with driving the strikers.
