On Maccari's site he mentions presetting a spring. What exactly does that mean?

when you get a new spring it's about three inches to long, hard to get into your gun.
when JM sets your spring for you it is only an inch and a half to long, easier to get in the gun.
if you have a spring compressor then you don't have to worry about this.
if you don't have a sring compressor then i would spend the extra buck for the setting.
when you put a JM spring in your gun and cock it the first time you just set the spring yourself.

Oh okay makes sense. Thanks Craig...

setting a spring sure makes it easier for the average "Joe" to work on his stuff.shortens the spring like 2-3 inches.
after yesterdays nightmare i made a rig that goes in my lathe...i can now crunch a spring down and get a stacked
length.no more head scratching. i can measure the actual spring length.:woot:

Well Paul, how about some details and pictures.. Some of us have lathes too. I'm lazy and like others to do the brain work...:D
