Now that's a pukka spring compressor.

Pretty impressed by your workbench. The only place I am permited to work on guns is out on the balcony.

Dev,
That reminds me of the vice used by carpenters.

Post by snIPer » Thu Aug 02, 2007 5:00 pm

I dont know if this should be in the Airguns section.

A good website for instructions on building your own spring compressor.

The best spring compressor will actually be a carpenters Vise which should ideally be a bit longer than your airguns main portion (where spring is contained) have seen a few gunsmiths use this and it works fine for them so no reason why it shouldn't work for us.
