AdmiralB saw my Drooping Dragoon predicament in an earlier thread, and very kindly offered to send a spring from what I assume is a Gibson humbucker guitar pickup. The part arrived today, and I replaced it without any difficulties after a trip to the hardware store for the correct diameter drift punch. The retention pin removed very easily, once pressure was taken off of it, and the new spring went in like a glove. One helluva a great fix! The new spring is substantially longer and beefier than the OEM part, and really locks the loading lever against the retaining clip. My thanks to a great guy for a great fix and his kind offer to supply the spring! Thanks AdmiralB!
With the new humbucking loading lever, I fully expect a richer and fuller boom from this gun, a la a Fender Fat Strat or Gibson Les Paul.
