Top Lever Spring

[B. Dudley]

Dan, That TP7203 spring is SIMILAR to a Parker top lever spring. But not the same. I have a number of them on hand and have used them before in Parkers when I absolutely have to. They need their post filed down a lot. As well as the legs of the spring shortened some. They are also very stiff and can be tough to get installed. But they ARE workable.

Thanks Brian. Is there a better option ffom one of the suppliers? Trying to avoid making one. One of the threads I found did mention a Bronnels spring that was workable too.

I put one of these in my duck gun and Brian is spot on does take some time to fit and is a very strong spring but that is what I wanted for this gun. I did some creative grinding of some needle nose vice grips that aided greatly getting spring into place. When I shut this gun on a cold duck day it closes and locks with authority.
