Thanks Chris, I flipped the springs right ways up on my FE...its unreal how many of these guns we took apart yesterday were set up the way I had my gun set up...I should've taken more pics. Does it really make a difference which way these springs are placed? I understand what your saying about the springs sliding back and forth, but we didn't seem to have that problem yesterday....and I cant tell any difference in function with the springs put in right side up. What gives?
