Quoted:
That dent is from the brass deflector, not that piece of wire. Beat me to it... OP, the end of the spring that goes up against the upper isn't supposed to be that long, but trimming it with a wire cutter is all you need to do. It really can't "hurt" your brass, but it will almost certainly hurt your fingers if you have to clear a stuck case. Use a small wire cutter, the smaller the better, or you'll wind up with a lot of fumbling while you try to cut the thing. Smaller cutters will also give you a cleaner cut. Dremel? No, don't use that. It's way too easy to cut something you don't plan to using a power tool. |
