I searched the forums and it seems to be the opinion of some that if a recoil spring is broken, you just run with it until it breaks in a few other places?

My 225 has a broken spring on the right track, by the look of the break, it has been broken for some time. Do these break over time due to fatigue, or is it an indication of some kind of "event"?

the cause could be from either one--mine lasted over 20 years broken before it just let go in many places

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
