So just got out of simply springs. They will do main springs. Also do trigger/hammer/recoil etc springs for some of the gunsmiths around here. Totally familiar with gun springs. They are able to make custom powered main springs for air rifles . A 5 to 10% increase will be trial and error once your up around the 30% mark its down to calculations. American imperial thickness may be a bit more of a hassel as has manly metric round steel. English guy who's dad was an air gun shooter in blighty. Min charge of 30 bucks, so he's making me 2 springs for hammer. |

Thats good to hear! I have a couple of guns that are twangy and suspect the spring is loose on the spring guide. they have a fixed spring guide to TBT kit is out of the question. Perhaps a custom spring with a custom tophat would do.. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

That's sweet. It's a 30buck min charge. He made me 4 hammer springs with varing strengths so I could find out what I prefured. Happy with that for sure. |

That's good work. The place in Wellington is called superior springs. I've never been there, but know of it.

So I settled on the second hardest spring which will clear the air valve at 15 pumps. All springs fitted well. Buy putting the spring back into the hammer and compressing with my finger, it was relatively easy to feel the differnt resistance and elimate two strait away. Didn't go for the hardest as will at some stage get softer spring made up for valve return spring. Pleased with results. Worth keeping this place in mind for spring replacemts. |
