Reinstall Spring by inserting spring into magazine. Take notice of the top end of the spring.   The loose end of the spring generally "points" the same direction as the bullet does when sitting in the magazine.  Sometimes the spring is cut off on the end, and sometimes there is a small loop in the end of the spring. The end of the spring with the large loop always sits in the very bottom of the magazine.
