Didjeridave Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The first link ones don't fit stock springs & there's not much between them & the mg stuff. seem to remember they work if you chop 1cm-ish off the end of each hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
