OWD - that's what I read, too. I find it difficult to believe, though - I don't find two small pins on a typical Brit A&D action too objectionable.

Stan - yes, I see your point. However, I didn't say spring replacement was 'difficult'. I find it pretty easy even on an A&D gun, once I've done it a couple of times. However, I guess even on a Perazzi you can't do it without some tool and a flat surface - or can you?
