Spring compressors- any suggestions?

[Brazos]

For a Diana 34 a spring compressor is not worth screwing with.  I have done tons of 34’s and realized it’s easier and to me safer not to use a compressor and I don’t have to take the scope off.  Just hold the barreled action with one hand, putting your shoulder in it, leaning into it on the edge of a table and push the two pins out with the other hand and slowish let up.  Easy.  Reverse to put back together.  If you are worried about it the first time have someone push the pins out/in while you hold the rifle down on the edge of the table.

I bought a Sun Optics spring compressor when they were on sale for about $60. Seems they were discontinued. If you can find one. Mine works fine

I tried to find it to no avail, but one guy used a automobile scissor jack  in a simple wood frame.

LoL... Here he is ..  ya it ain't rocket science

Ya, pretty close to the level I can stoop to.

I definitely ain't above that.😁

In the end all it got to do is work.

There used to be a whole section on spring compressors in the Library but I couldn't find it... looks like someone has been doing some house keeping.

It seems like to some, not using a spring compressor is akin to not taking a good hold on the cocking arm of an underlever while loading a pellet, which by the by, can be considerably more dangerous than not using a spring compressor IMHO.

I have used both wood clamps and arm strength, both with success.  Even did an model 48 without any assistance from tools.  I admit, that was quite the chore.

If doing a good supply of guns on a regular basis, don't hesitate to emulate the vast number of compressor ideas shared on this and other sites.

Personally, I prefer to simply use a padded Groz sash clamp!

Here is a homemade spring compressor that has served me quite well through several diy tunes.
