Reeder Custom Guns - Tool for removing a Ruger loading gate spring

I’m no gunsmith, and don’t like taking my revolvers apart because all the tiny parts and my big hands and fingers, I need needle nose pliers. RW Gripframes makes the “Third Hand Tool” for the loading gate spring removal and installation. There’s a short video on the web sight that shows how easy it works. [image] [image] [image]

From my early years working in a machine shop at De Laval I found that the proper tool saves a great deal of labor and knuckle busting. That really worked when I was in Junk yards trying to fix or build something, and I called it the secret handshake. If you knew this you could get in!

So I just use pen knives and paper clips. It's a trick not to scratch anything but it can be done. The more you do it the easier it becomes. YOU needed that tool. I'm anxiously awaiting a report.
