I couldn't believe the difference in size when I compared the two springs.
Anyway, it easily came apart, no surprise there. My heat gun finally died but I carefully used a torch. Luckily I didn't have to use the strap wrench because I could not get it not to slip.
It took awhile for me to get it back together because the bolt wouldn't go forward enough, I had to actually press the ejector to get it in it's little slot and didn't think to do that the first few times.
The trigger group didn't just snap right in either. It's a simple little gun but parts really have to be in the right place.
But eventually I got it. Big difference! It's one of my bedside guns. I used to just keep one of my handguns on the nightstand but I came to my senses. I have lights on them and an eotech on the AR. Me and the beagles are the only ones here so leaving a firearm near me when I'm at home is fine.
Pics of spring comparison and Mossberg. I can't decide on the best spot to mount the light, I had it closer before the spring installation but decided I could risk hitting my hand so I moved it out a little.
