Determining Spacing

By CharlieDaTuna

First determine the measurement from the inside front of the piston to the front of the end cap with piston in it’s latched back position, and then deduct the thickness of the rear spring guide  seat flange if applicable.

Calculate the stacked height of the coils by measuring the wire diameter of the spring times the number of coils.

Now subtract this stacked dimension from the previous dimension determined in the first step.

The difference between the two is the max spacing you can add, but I recommend giving yourself about .125 or 1/8 inch room for error allowance and to prevent any cocking issues in the future.

Thank you…
