What happens if I pull the indexing spring and rotate the XRAIL System without ammo in the main tube?

0

A. If released without being loaded the tube housing will try to unwind. The main tube spring will stop the tube housing from unwinding to its relaxed position. Doing this can damage the spring if you reset the housing to its original “set position” and the spring ends up hooked around the spring retainer peg that pertrudes from the bottom of the inner tube housing. If spring is hooked on retainer peg, the system will not allow shells to be loaded into the XRAIL System because it is hung up. Trying to load when the spring is hooked on the peg is what causes damage to the main spring. B. If you pull pin and rotate tube housing in the loading direction without the main tube being loaded past the connection point you will wind the main tube spring around the central axis of the inner tube housing causing the spring to be permanently damaged.
