I have an H&R pre New England single shot on n 22 Hornet that I’m quite fond of.
Now this past year I inherited a Ruger m77 in 22 Hornet. It needs a new optic and a but plate. Fortunately I received it before the stock was shortened.

17HMR is a sweet little round. 338 has a bit more push, but not bad at all. Significantly less than a Windrunner... but the shoulder plate is much more pleasant than a Mosin...
Thad- if a stock is too short, turn that into an opportunity to trim the stock back a little more, and then install an adjustable buttplate and pad system. There's plenty, do a search for Graco for an example.

Dave, they (my brother) were going to shorten the stock for my mother. She said leave it alone. It’s still stock length just missing the but plate. Hoping to find an original Ruger but plate.

I’d like to have one. I do have one in 20 gauge. A lady at church gave it to me. Said she wanted it out of her house.

12 ga. pumpshot gun, 12 ga. bolt shot gun, .22 H&R seven shot revolver, .22 Mosberg 151M simi-auto rifle . Although not a firearm, wrist rocket sling shot. Within 50 feet, it can kill racoon, opossum and armadillio. Not sure of its maximum effective killing distance. Ball bearings are more accurate than marbles. Marbles do not fly true. |

Dad's Marlin Golden 39a lever action in .22LR. |
That is the sweetest of the sweet.
Many people have owned one for years and never knew that you can use a quarter in that big slotted screw and break it into two parts almost equal in length for easier packing.
Back when I was thirteen-yrs-old, I saved up yard-mowing money - five-bucks a yard - until I finally paid for the one hanging on the wall at Best Deal Discount and brought it home all mine.
A note about the yard mowing --- I lived at the dead-end of a starvation road, four miles out of town = all the yards that people would pay someone to mow were in town; so, I had to bicycle to town, dragging a push-mower beside me as I pedaled along, and somehow managing to not break the gallon glass Pickle Dog jar full of take-your-hide-off Regular Gasoline = don't think I didn't earn that five bucks.
Stupid like, a few years later, never having any money --- if you live in Kentucky you never do --- a fancy high-power Mauser took my eye and I traded my cherished Golden 39A to it --- I have kicked myself ever since.
Years and years and years later, I found one almost like it, same model and very close in date, and brought it home --- but, it just isn't the same and never will be.
A previous owner must have removed the Marlin Buckhorn sight, probably to mount a scope; and then, someone removed the scope and put on a wrong-looking cheap-looking dovetail ramp sight; I keep intending to get a better rear sight and only ever think of it at times like this.

I can't imagine leaving a quality firearm spring for a long period in either compressed or totally relaxed state would have any effect on the spring at all.
You have to be careful of old wive's tales about such things.
Think of all the tube magazines and box "clip" magazines that stay loaded and therefore in a compressed state for years and years with no ill effects.
About the only thing that will harm a firearm spring is a citrus soft drink; I had a guy bring me a 1911 Colt, hoping I could fix it, that was in a car console when a bottle of Ski got spilled in and soaked everything inside --- it was in a sad state; the steel was even pitted deeply.

NOT an old wifes tale, buckskin, I never insinuated it was such! I was merely posting the opinion of a long time gunsmith,,,and he has the proof. Have a nice day,,,,,
