That seems about right if you have the springs with the tails. Just pull out the spring rail, remove backing, pull out old springs, push in new springs (should be able to push in for friction tight), trim tails, replace backing, re-install rail, position springs, deliver and install action, get check.

I need to give a guy an estimate. I looked in Joe Garrett's labor guide and it says four hours. Seems to me it took me a lot longer than that - but maybe I'm slow - and besides, my memory ain't what it used to be (I think). Any opinions on labor time once the action is in my shop? Thanks.
