Same for Fox with the safety pushrod removed. Hammers letting down close the gun.

Every night when I get home from work, I remove my car's suspension springs.
Do Gundealers release the tension on the hammer springs on all their stock? Especially the ones that are new, on the shelf, with a build code 3-4 years earlier??????????

I doubt if removing the suspension springs serves much purpose unless you also pull the plugs and fill the cylinders with oil.

I use something like Rabbit's method of snap, then take the gun apart to remove the caps and clean the gun. Not recommended for LC Smith, however - need to recock to put foreend back on.

It's not my method in the sense that I probably would not bother unless I'm not going to shoot the gun for a month or so. For some reason, I have compassion on vee and flat springs but not on coils; maybe this is misguided if they both take a "set" compressed. I have never made the mistake of pulling triggers on an Elsie while cleaning barrels. Apparently I always put it away cocked. I wouldn't want plastic or brass in the chambers for any length of time for obvious reasons. I haven't had the extractor jumping experience with my el cheapo snap caps. I also have heavy brass ones (in case I need to take a photo of a gun avec les accoutrements in the library LOL) but the pistons began to stick over time. I took them apart, polished, deburred, put back together and haven't used since.

Salopian - what? Only the suspension springs? You don't remove the engine valve springs??
