Ares quick change spring

[SimonQuigley]

To use the quick change spring system will i need any special tools? and is it a hard thing to do?

Assuming it the same on all , based on my Tavor, you'll need a large flat screw driver to remove the covering bolt at the back, which will then show a hex key plate. This you push in and rotate until the pegs on either side align with the holes (you'll understand what I mean when you see it) so that it will be pushed out by the spring. Once this plug is removed the spring just needs pulling out. Put new one in and reverse process.

 

Note the spring might be a bitch to pull out - if it is, re-compress and try again (happened to me, not sure what it caught on)

Cool thanks, i found a video and it turns out i will have to fashion a makeshift armourers wrench to get the buffer tube off, i'll see how it goes.
