[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1893768, member: 38048"] The original is made of spring steel and is the right dia. for the smaller head. If you try to bend it out to fit the new size it weakens it considerably. Once you bend it even a little they break real easy. Unless you are going to take the temper out and then bend it and retemper it. I would just spend the 15 bucks and put the magnum one in. The new ones that just snap in suck in my opinion. The way they are cut out next to the hook make them bend and break just trying to get them out. If you have an old one with the rivet I can see maybe reusing it because it is full thickness metal all the way around. Shep [/QUOTE]
