I have a model 52 that is not feeding well. Among the things I want to do is replace the magazine springs. I assume that I can remove the base plate and swap springs, however, before I began, I wanted to see if the collective experts said otherwise. Thanks
Checking the schematic, looks like you are correct. The disassembly appears pretty straight forward. Be sure to wear safety glasses if you have them. Those springs can do real damage your eye.
