While attempting to disassemble my vz24 czech Mauser earlier today, I "bubba-ized" the front barrel band spring. A web site I was referring to indicated that this part would come right off, however I later realized that the site was using a yugo M-48 as an example and the spring is slightly different than that of the vz24 (or so I've read). Anyway, the spring was very brittle and just snapped off.
Is it possible to shoot the rifle without the front barrel band? Where can I order a new spring for this rifle? Any help would be appreciated.
