wbbh, thanks, that helped.
I had bought an assortment of 200 springs on the internet for about the $11 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1). So this morning, being fresher in mind, I took another look and found one that worked perfect. Look towards the bottom of the picture....I layed one there to show you how the hooks on each end were at an edge instead of in the middle......that made the springs lay closer to the barrels....I like that. Think I'm ready to go brag on TylerR to my brother.....;) Does that not look sharp?!
