I'll see what I can do. Just wanted to reiterate that it is not an Automatic-5, it is the 2 shot Double Automatic. It does have a nut around the lower tube that holds the spring and appears that the nut could be rotated. I've never cleaned the gun, we've had it since new in the 1950's , and I have only cleaned the barrel and what I can reach in the receiver. It cycles well most of the time, but not reliably with light handloads ( yes I like light recoil shells) and will hang up on the infeed of the second shell. The first shot kicks out, and the second feeds partially and cocks in the feed leading into the chamber. A 3 dram load, no problem.
