Thanks: good to know. I will have to re-check my numbers, as I think mine was around 943,xxx. thus, it is in that pre-mil group with lever safety, but in the newer design for the ejector.

I like the old style better: my .300 always kicks them out with confidence.

Other than Numrich, is there a source for these springs? I am always a little leary of springs from Numrich as my understanding is that most are not new springs but 'cannibalized' ones-and may be weak also.

Or, is it possible to stretch the spring to add more 'kick' [reversing spring set that occurs over time in the gun rack]?
