How to build a simply spring compressor for your spring piston air gun.
A spring compressor is a must for rebuilding a spring piston air gun. It is used to take out the main spring and to install a new one. It is dangerous to take out a main spring without a spring compressor. The main spring of your air gun is under pressure and can cause you harm if you try and take it out with out a spring compressor.

Making your spring compressor.
Here is a spring compressor I made out of a 45 inch long 2x4 treated wood board. Other materials I used were a 8 inch C-Clamp, which I placed on a 12 inch 2½x 1 inch board and I screwed it to the top of the 45 inch, 2x4 with 4, 3 inch screws. Notice I cut the end of the C-Clamp and drilled two holes for placing 2, 2 inch screws to screw it to the 12 inch board. I also used a 4 inch piece of 2x4 on the other end, secured it in place with 4, 3 inch screws and a 4 inch, 2½x 1 inch "V" grooved piece of wood in the middle, to secure the air gun to the press, I also screwed it in place. After finishing the spring press, I used a wood sealant to paint it, this well help in the future for cleaning off oil, tar, grease off the spring press.

Notice on the end of the spring compressor I have place 2 blocks of wood, the bottom block of wood is for regular spring piston air guns, the top block is futher down for magnum air guns like the B-21. A adjustable strap is used in the middle for holding down the air guns while working. |
