I thought I’d post and check if anyone has one they’d like to sell. I’ve seen sun optics versions that are discontinued and some pretty nice privately made examples. Let me know if you have something please

Thank you

Seems to me, this should work.
They have 100, 300 and 600 pound versions.

Actually I could think if you have some wood pieces and blocks, then make your own one will be the best solution to meet your need.

Because I saw some 'home made' compressors here and they are much better than the one I bought from CT (same type as the above DeWalt one but from Irwin). Sometimes I found mines (I have a shorter one first for my HW45 before and then got a longer one for the rifles) very hard to align and keep the action in position because it's slipping left or right all the time like a fish.... :eek:

What YepYep says is true, the bar clamp works for sure, but can be very slippery. I have devised methods to keep it in place and use an Irwin branded clamp as my spring compressor. With care, and always pointing the exit end away from me, I have never had an injury. Note, there have been times things went awry and a spring and end cap escaped, but safety first... no one was injured. YMMV, so do only what is safe for you.
