Advice on Top Lever Spring Installation

[KrisHamilton]

i also just ordered a top lever spring from dixies, and reshaped it and installed it myself. so i know what to expect. i used a mini ruler to measure the inside of the spring positions, and compared it to the original, the problem i had was the broken part of the original was lost.
i posted pictures on my thread *to restore or not to restore*

im happy to say my rifle works like a charm

Thanks Kris, I don't have an old spring to work from, it is totally missing. I will just try measuring it with the the engineer's scale on my calipers, and work it down slowly. I will also go check out your thread.
