redoak, I could see how that would work. Thanks for telling me about it. Most toplever springs that I am familiar with have pretty short limbs, and are not located directly under the topstrap, so this seemed a bit unlikely to me. But I'm always willing to learn something. I still can't understand why the maker would have made the spring peg hole clear through the topstrap. Understandable on a cheap gun perhaps, but this one looks like it has some quality. I hope Mr Martin gets the gun and we eventually get the answer.
