RWS 34 tune help ASAP

[Sam]

I'm tuning my rws 34 but cannot compress the new spring enough to re-assemble the rifle.  I cannot align the holes on the body with the ones on the trigger mechanism no matter how hard I press.  I do not have a spring compressor.  What do I need to do to re-assemble the rifle?  Thanks.

You got yourself ina pickle there Bro. Better get a friend to offer you a third and fourth hand. Not only does a spring compressor compress the spring but it acts as that third hand. Hope you get things back together soon!! tjk

A spring compressor is a must in breaking down a springer it's safe that way and as Thomas said it's your third hand. Please be careful safety is our top priority here at GTA. eD

Sam, here is something I used as a spring compressor (clamp). Maybe you have one around.

not to sound like a smart butt but.... spring compressor thats pretty much why everyone says you have to have one because well.... to get them back together you do that and its the only SAFE way to do it...

Sam, sorry to here about your dilema. One reason we stress about using a spring compressor is to eliminatethe danger when one attempts to take a AG apart for servicing. Your spring has a good amount of preload to deal with so be very carefull. Look at this link I posted for you, it shows a method that might work for you, but please read and studythis link before you attempt to reassemble your AG

Thanks to you all, I was able to re-assemble the rifle with the help of two more people.  Thanks again.
