It would help if you would show us WHICH WAY YOU ORIENTED THE PART. instead of just saying "I put my decocker spring in, like so." Congrats, i see that.
It's easy when you know how. And you're not nearly blind, fumble-thumbed and a dumbass. lol I did get mine together today in record time. Only took me an hour and a half, from stripping down the gun to getting it all back together again. Good thing I'm not a professional. :D Oh, and thanks so much! You guys rock!
I just did this on my 97BD (It's been awhile since I did a BD sear cage), it took me maybe 10 minutes after watching the video, however the decocker worked about 10x and the spring slipped off the lever arm. I swapped the spring with a new one I had in my parts bin, put it back together and it happened again on the 1st attempt to decock it. Any suggestions? I've done about a dozen BD's a few years back with no issues at all, and I watched this and several other videos before attempting this one since it's been awhile.
As much as I appreciate the skill and confidence of the magician showing the trick, Im still wondering which way the sear is facing and will there be a rabbit popping out of the cage. Sigh
