This week I did the annual thorough cleaning on my M1. I had bought two Wolf op rod springs to replace the worn springs in our son's M1 and mine.

Well getting the old ones off was easy, getting the new ones on turned into a problem. I couldn't get the spring all the way down to the stop on the rod follower. I fiddled with mine and couldn't get it done, then I went to work on the son's rifle and looking at the spring it struck me that it was like a right hand thread nut!! So I tried to screw it on....SUCCESS!!

I don't know if this is the approved method but it worked.
