That new hook should keep enough tension to hold it in place. When the cylinders get gunky from shooting the cases stick a bit which then puts upward pressure on the ejection star/rod. Will take it out to the range ASAP to give it a shooting test. Seems like it holds the cylinder on firmly. The replacement spring has an actual hook to it that protrudes out farther. It is readily apparent that the factory original spring (which looks more robust than the replacement) was very worn down where there was barely any of the "hook" protruding through the cylinder post slot. I ordered the $6 replacement retaining spring from Gun Parts Corp. I have a H&R 999 in excellent condition except it was having the problem where after a cylinder or two of shooting when I’d break it open the cylinder would pop off the receiver post completely.
