  • Magnetic Spring

    From Bob La Londe@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 9 16:30:30 2023
    I was looking at some advertising on Facebook while sitting in a parking
    lot waiting earlier today. A product that caught my eye was a fishing
    tool for trimming line among other things.

    One of the things in the "features list" was "Magnetic springs that
    never wear out. Of course magnets can wear out, but I instantly thought
    that was a clever way to achieve something with a different method.

    There was a kit for adding a magnetic trigger return spring to the
    Crosman 2300 series CO2 pistols awhile back. Couldn't find one for sale
    to learn more. Think the seller got cold feet and once it was published
    decided it wasn't worth the risk...

    Thought it was a clever idea for that too😉
