I was about to order one or two springs from Orion, but the minimum order is $20. Anyone want to piggyback on my order?

Basically your right on par with most field grades, it cycled it loaded it went bang.....next. Im pretty sure thats how they get graded for field grade or rack grade. About the only thing they might check is the headspace ?
Still sucks to hear about this. This is why and I thank the garand guru's at my range who said " get a spring kit with every rifle you order, you will thank us" remember the parts are only as young as the last over haul but that doesnt mean a spring couldnt be used. That spring could be 60 years old but checked out ok after the last check up in the 19??s....explains the rusty gas cylender area i was asking you about earlier.
If it helps I have a op rod spring thats serviceable ie: worked flawlessly until I replaced it just cause I had a new one. I work in hanover if you want to pick it up next week ? im on vacation this week.
