OX-Mainspring, too long?

so you have to have a zillion posts before you become a senior member?

Utter tosh. if fitted correctly and tuned to the gun they work perfectly well.

I put one in when I was young and stupid... and trusted my local gunshop that it was actually half decent. It was proper ******e in my Vulcan to be honest. Then I put a gas ram in, and now it shoots quite nicely.

Just for the hell of it I tried to get the Ox spring working nicely, I cut several coils off it and gave the ends some serious polishing. It is only 'OK' - Id much rather have a decent spring or even just a plain old replacement one from Chambers than get an Ox spring again. Bloody 'orrible things.

I got a chambers ultra spring for my webley stingray, it's now in the bin it was so poor, go figure
