There is another spring maker in NZ that has limited supplies of the good wire, but by the time I found them I got my vortek springs, my 56TH is now doing just over 19ft lbs in 177 and is back on the rabbits!

That sux, I was going to get a spare spring for weihrauch off him at some stage.
I'll stop in next time Im north and see exactly what sort of steels he has. As he does industrial and mechanical springs, I'd be rather supprised if he didnt have valve quality steel. He offers money back if not satisfied, so I hope you got yours back. |

All info and sent a spring for them to copy, he also said he'd set the spring (scrag it)
Which wasn't done. Best stay with Vortek, they make the best, especially for power, ARH are OK but not strong on power. |

Tinbum Tuning also do springs and they are scragged or prepared properly for airguns.

I've been doing a bit of research on air rifle spring steel. Made a list of types and will see what he has in stock when I head back up in a few days.

If you want power Vortek are the best, can be left cocked for extended periods, no power loss, I order three at a time to save postage on individual springs, not keen on the latest PG 4 set up with open ends though, too limiting, received three custom cut to my requirements for the exact fps Ineed in the big 56,so I'm set for the foreseeable few years 😁

How long is an extended period. What are they made of? Anything that can be left for an extended period (which must be over a hour I'm guessing.) Must be a very hard steel and more powerful than other air rifle springs of that size sounds like a kick back nightmare. Also assume that it puts more pressure on the sears affecting wear and trigger pull. Sort of defies the accuracy not power air rifle shooting.
