I'm a noob on these 858's. Just so I understand if you want to mount an optic its best to buy the railed cover and that is the reason to change the mainspring? I put down a deposit for one of these.. just waiting for them to come in
I don't think the railed covers are the best optic mounts because they have to be removed to clean the gun. A solid mount that does not have to be removed does not lose zero. I think Corwin Arms sell mounts that do not need to be removed to clean the gun.
Howmuch ya thinking for 1??
I can be also interested, depending from the final price.

Try replacing the mainspring on a 1907 Winchester .351WSL!!! But congrats on your feat.

If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have bought the "Gun Expert" version with quick detach:
It's 300 Euros as opposed to US$300, but it's worth it for the quick release. I'm not fond of the hex bolts of the one on Zahal/Corwin.
Having said that, the Gun Expert version does not come with springs, and I am in no mood to try and reinstall springs any time soon!! Maybe I'll change my mind in a month when I've recovered from the mental trauma.
Does the quick release hold zero if removed and re-installed?
Interesting mount. How does everyone like the optics being mounted that far back compared to mounting in on the hadguard?
EDIT. I just realized, how do you not have to remove the mainspring to clean the bolt, piston etc? How is this way any different than removing the handguard mount? Either way, they both have to be removed to clean properly.
