After looking at your FAQ section it sounds like I have a bent J spring. I will attempt to post a picture of the forend of my gun to illustrate this. I guess what I need is a pic of a spring that has not been altered from original shape. Are they completely straight or is there some curve to them? Also the feasibility of attempting to fix this myself. It would be good to hear from anyone who has possibly tried this, and how it turned out. Thanks, Matt
