ADF Installation on a Matrix 355

[ianinno]

I am installing my ADF on my 355 and have a couple of question i need resolved.
first the arrow retainer on the standard setup is attached to the string latch mechanism. To install the ADF the arrow retainer spring is attached to the Scope rail and thus pushes the spring a full 3" forward.......is this ok?? Is there a shorter modified version available??
second question is regarding the clearance between the arrow retainer spring and the flight rail. I only have 1\8" which seems like not enough, i am worried it will hit the deck after the arrow is released, anyone have any thoughts on this?
thanks

No worries, you have the correct arrow retainer, it is the same longer one that the M380 and M405 has with the ADF.

Shrink wrap the retainer

thanks enormous!
I can see now in a side by side comparison that the spring is almost to the end of the for stock on the 380's. now i feel better!
do you think the 1\8" clearance from the spring to the deck is enough of should i make the attempt at bending it up a bit

is the shrink wrap to deaden sound and stop the deck from being marked.....good idea thanks
