C-Frame woes

Love my old C-Frame, but the collar which holds the return spring constantly slips downward, no matter how much I tighten it. The ram is stainless steel, so drilling and tapping it is not in my future. Any suggestions appreciated!
 
Collar & spring

Remove them. I haven't used the collar or spring since day one. It forces me to locate the die in the hole and hold it while pounding. No double holes. Not that it ever happened.:D
 
Well that’s a good idea. Any time savings from having the spring/collar is quickly being used up with having to readjust it every 10-15 minutes or so.
