Hi folks, I've got a question regarding the function of a patchbox lid on a rifle I put together. I bought the patchbox from Track of the Wolf. I followed the instructions pretty well I think, but I seem to have a situation where the lid doesn't really want to fully close unless I snap it shut. The way I understood, this leaf spring arrangement should provide assistance in lifting the lid open and provide force for keeping it closed. I've included a few pictures and a little illustration of my concern.
I guess the question is; do I have the spring placement wrong, or does is there a fitment issue between the individual pieces. Shouldn't the lid want to snap shut once it closes past a certain point?
Thanks for looking
