There is a small ring of CRS silver soldered back on the straight part of the rod. A coil spring fits on the rod, pushing against the collar. The rod then goes into a through drilled hole in a 1/4" square piece of CRS. The square guide then simply fits up against the existing spring screw and the stock keeps it in place...
Ever tried to get replacement Pedersoli parts?
