Just thought I'd post a couple of pics of the spring compressor I made the other day using  the plans listed on the Kermit Airgun club site.  Was pretty straight forward and I was happy with the results.

Jeff, that look's just like mine, except I have a black C- clamp. I thought about camo painting it as I do a lot but was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find it afterward's hehe. Nice job buddy, were still waiting on Gene's. Just take some wood off the house Gene, the wife won't notice hehe.Ed

I thought the orange C-clamp matched the orange stock on my B-3 nicely     :)

Looks great Jeff! I've got to find time to make one to get the S1K together. Haven't decided to do wood or metal,make a jig to use in my press or what. Question: Does the end of the barrel, or the forward part of the breech block, go against the stop block? From all the different styles I've seen, I can't tell.

I just know this is the place to be! I wear New Balance shoes, too. (Actually, In my old age I'm just too cheap to spend a fortune on the big names, cuts into my pellet money, plus they're comfortable!)

Thanks Ric,

End of the barrel goes against the stop block.  

I got the blueprints for the compressor off the Kermit Airgun Site.
