    Feinwerkbau Sport mainspring

    the reason i ask is that the sport is listed with the 77 and 97 on oxspring site as being the same size, but not on the titanxs spring site and no i would not ever buy or use an ox spring

    A genuine HW77 spring drops straight in -----just under 600fps with wasps.

    There is no Titan XS spring listed for the sport but if you ring John Knibbs on 01675481006 I'm sure he'll be able to tell you which one you need.

    Unless he has recently stopped doing them- this is where I got mine

    Works a treat too. Cant help with the Sport/77 question I'm afraid.

    I`ve 3 127`s and have put standard HW77 springs in all of them, they fit better on the spring guide ( imho) though after a top hat and sizing the piston seal I have to chop them down to around 29 coils to keep them legal and an odd washer if needed

    all are running about 607fps with Mosquitos as they seem about the quickest pellets I have found so far, though I have heard Millbro Caledoian go faster?

    my titan came from knibbsy and was a so an so to get in ,needed a sash clamp a workshop and a gun knowledgable mate to help ease her back in it was worth the hassle as is every fwb ,shes right on the button,there was an inch or so outside the action before compression ,but it was needed.
