Have had my A1 for a few years now and have noticed that the plunger spring for the safety is sticking out longer when I have the safety on, the problem is I have to use two hands to push the plunger back in to release the safety. I have lubed and researched and did all I could to return it back to a shorter stroke length or distance but no luck. Anyone have any ideas that could help?

To replace a complete plunger tube assembly, you need a plunger tool staking tool or take it to a gunsmith for installation , I would try to get a new spring for the tube and try that
