No the spring is on the operating rod. If you turn the lever you used to remove your gas tube up another 1/4" after you take your gas tube off the operating rod and spring will come out. It's probably covered in cosmo too.

Be careful when doing this, or the "operatign rod" aka gas piston extension, will come flying out. |

Yeah, the best way i've found to do it is to take something like a screwdriver, or even your finger if you can get enough pressure on it, and press in on it pretty hard, then turn the little lever and gradually let off the pressure, letting the operating rod come out gradually.

You guys are no fun. Half the fun is looking for the rod and spring after it flys out!

Mine had so much cosmo that I had to pull it out after getting past the latch.

Heh, I learned my lesson after the recoil spring and the cover for it went flying across the room the first time I tried taking the cover off. I had the bolt locked back and didn't even think about the compressed spring in there. I flipped the lever and pulled it out and boom, there they go flying about 10 feet across the room to hit my cousin in the leg. After that, I tried to be more careful about things.
