This is the main part of the gun. Follow the photos if you don't understand it.First put the top of the spring on the flat side of the shortened part of the dissambled clothespeg.Slide it from the thinnest part on to the first notch. Leave one part on that notch, then continue to slide the bottom part to the next notch. Now the spring is in load of tension, so be careful.

Assemble It!
