Good Morning

I have a model 70 carbine from the 1980’s and it needs a new firing pin spring . I can’t find a tool to compress the new spring to install it,does such a thing exist?

Thanks
John

I made mine using a dremel and small round file. I used a washer cut it in half. Went from their. The one in the video much nicer.
Thanks
I will give it a try.

Like a poster above, I made mine from an infant's seat buckle... Piece of cake..

Funny, I saved those from when my kids were little. I figured I'd find a use for them some day.
