Hello,
I'm a new airsmith and just rebuilt a mini-mag.
During the process I was very surprised to find a spring where the power tube spacer should have been. Not having any spacers I just put it back (after the new O-ring of course,) finished the rebuild and gassed it up. It works just fine!
The spring is approximately the same I.D. and O.D as a spacer and is filed or ground flat on the ends, like it was made/modified for that purpose.
Is this an old mag or some discontiued aftermarket mod?
I can't find any info regearding this anywhere else and figure someone here might have seen this before.

FYI- Mini-Mag Reg and Body (same ser.#'s)
SS Verticle feed body
Vert. ASA
Air America, Vigilante vert. reg. (set @ 800PSI)
Drop forward
Thanks for any info!

That was what they used prior to 95 or 96 or so. Quite normal.

Thanks!
I figured as much! I'll let the owner decide if he wants to "upgrade"!
