 I have a dumb question! Where does the ramrod retaining spring go on a CVA Hawken? How do you install it? Thankyou.

It goes on the forward lock plate screw. Make sure the rounded part is pointing down.

And with the rounded part pointing toward the butt plate.

 I got the ramrod retaining spring in today from Deer Creek. I installed it in the muzzleloader with no problems. Thank all of you for your replies and advice! Was very helpful. Respectfully, cowboys1062.
