Tarheel,

You're talking about a spring compressor and they can be bought at Pyramyd Air, Air Gun Express, Beeman and many other air gun suppliers.  Just check around.  Don't try working on a springer without one.  Lawdog

place something soft between the rifle's action and the C-clamp bolt to avoid a scratch when compressing.

Maybe a rubber washer fixed with contact cement would works better.
