The Mainspring Vise

Novice gun owners may try to disassemble a fine lock using a Channel Lock or Vice-Grip pliers, but every experienced gunsmith knows the value of the mainspring vise. Avoid scratching your mainspring. Scratches form stress marks, eventually cause breakage. Draw the lock to half cock, slip on the spring vise, gently tighten the screw, then gently lower the hammer. Never compress the spring past full cock! The mainspring vise costs less than the first replacement mainspring damaged by pliers.
