Robert Henley Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I need a front band locking spring for my National Postal Meter M1 if anyone has a USGI one with a good catch on it. The catch on mine is worn down, and as a result when I shoot it the front band starts to come off. If you anyone has an extra they can part with PM me.

BillyDixon Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 so remove it from the stock, take a small file and deepen the locking area then try to rebend it then reassembly. only time i see this happen is stock was sanded down at refinishing and this goes too deep into the wood, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Henley Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 OK, I'll give it a try. I worked on it with a jewelers' file a little bit the other day. There's not much of a catch left due to wear. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadycon Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Beware of them on ebay! I got a couple a few yrs ago [ before I knew much about them ] and I had to file it down a little to make it catch. If I can find the extra one you can have it.

GK Would you believe I just ordered one on eBay, which I rarely use, before I saw your post. $10, in the USA. It looked good, supposedly NOS USGI, but I'll guess we'll see.
