How is it that you got your name grossed up by a factor of 100.1????? You get a raise?

To the OP - yes, you can clip and test, but a lighter spring may work better. You anc replace the spring then if you don't like it, and tey're cheap. I have a bench only gun done like that (clipped) and with the lever removed - wouldn't do that on a field gun though.
