You will notice that your plate does not have this since your spring hangs off the bottom of the plate. That little stop point is the part of the rebounding lock design that makes it all work.
I was wondering what the purpose of that little stop was.
...So what's happening with that stop and the mainspring that makes the rebounding lock do its thing?
