    Jackal Mainspring

    Just got my new baby - A-A jackal/combat sidelever.

    I thought seeing it must be 20 years old, I might give it a service inc. a new mainspring.
    I can get a replacement from Chambers or an Airforce square section spring for similar money....

    Has anyone got any advice on the subject before I make the wrong decision?

    Thanks for looking

    To be honest Harvey, those combat model jackals are rubbish. You really wont like it. i'd take it off your hands out of sympathy though so you can get a 'proper' gun.
    (P.S. i got your PM mate, enjoy the 'rubbish' gun. )

    Jackals can shoot as well as anything........if the shooter has the ability.
    Pad.e is the expert, listen to him first.
    "The guns can do it" as "Ed Magiven" said. Anyone who claims the guns are to blame is just incompetent. A really good shooter could get a group out of a Gat!
    Go for it!

    However , The guns still out shoot me & I've not changed the internals, but I do know alot about them. Oh I can strip the whole trigger mech, so I'm not that inept.

    Regards
    Paddy.
