Does anyone out there have any instructions for installing the mainsprings in the Crass shotgun. They are so stiff there must be a special technique to doing it.

And here is a youtube video that explains installing springs in a Lefever which shows how better than I can explain it.

Thanks for the info, however, the Lefever had coil mainsprings while the Crass has V shaped leaf springs. I searched there for other videos and could not find one for the Crass. Thanks for responding.
