Elliotw, I noticed that the spring is upside-down in the picture you posted, and that's important so that the follower can compress the spring without it binding.

I've also found that if the top retaining clips near the feedlips aren't a tight fit, some glueing may be required. I used a teensy dab of hot glue, cleaned up the excess, and it's working like a charm.

Try flipping the spring first though just to see, and it *shouldn't* be as prone to dart-vomiting. Hey there Doc ! I opened a couple CS-6 clips and the spring is installed that way on all of them. But in the process, I discovered several minor variations in certain clips. For instance, in the clip pictured right, there is a small tab on top of the screw post that needs to be removed to allow the follower to travel farther down. (see circled area bottom right) (oops, some of daddy's "special juice" crept into the pic)

I've also noticed that the spacing of the feed lips varies somewhat between clips. I think I may have inadvertently grabbed a clip with wider spacing, which may exacerbate the dart-vomiting problem.

But thank you very much for the feedback. I did notice that after I broke the solvent weld on the tabs, the two halves of the clip don’t fit together as tightly as they originally did. There's a hairline gap between the two halves. I'll definitely try the hot glue trick.

I'll also fool around with some other clips over the weekend and see if I can get it working any better.

Welcome aboard Doc !
