On the attached image which is the yoke slide, it would appear that the spring is missing, having said that I cant see where a spring would be attached nor any evidence of the little spring brackets that hold the spring having been removed.

Any thoughts on this.

Hello scudo.

When the Generation 3 was initially introduced (January 1990), it did NOT have the centering spring on the slide. It was added later in the run, as were other on going changes over the years.

Cheers & hagn/d all,

Bill

Thanks for that info Bill. Going by the code on the side of the case it was manufactured in 1992.

It will be interesting to see how it operates when I put it back together as I am more used to the spring operated versions in later models.
