How far do I compress the A2 rear sight spring from the inside of the upper receiver before installing the roll pin?

Thanks,
SK

Decently far. Look at the little tool I use to compress the spring... I'm not at home or I could give a better visual reference.

Until the roll pin slides underneath the spring.
