Anyone got a bog std TX200 mk3 spring they can measure for me please ?

[Shed tuner]

Just need to confirm ID, OD, coils and overall length please... all mine are Mk2s

It may be just what I need for a little project...

Tks - JB

Give me about an hour pal I'm going buying a new original AA spring I'll measure it for you

I'm out until tomorrow night but have a box fresh one I pulled out of a new rifle. Yours if you want it mate. Drop me a PM as lost your addy. It's from a .177 mk3. You can even have the big ass lump of steel they call a top hat

Tks mate - yes please

(well, they are no good for TXs anyways, so may as well put it to use elsewhere !)

Hi John, the mk3 TX .177 spring I've just got has 25 coils, the lenth is 22.2 cm , outside diameter is 19 mm and the inside diameter is 14 mm. the spring is a AA brand spring.

Tks Gimly.... that'll work
Just just need something a bit weedy but a reasonable length....

[lutonlad]

OD 20.8mm. Wire 2.9mm. 23 active coils. 223mm free length.

Thanks, that's actually closer to what I was expecting / hoping. It also confirms the spring I'm using really is a cut down Mk3 spring as I suspected; it's exactly the size - except mine has ~ 1.5 coils missing.. and doing about 10 FP, so with it's full length, it should be perfect

What you up to, then, Jon lad?

Thought it might be!

Dimensions similar or totally different?

You'd have to have a guess that the spring quality was a lot better, too?

[Shed tuner]

Not that similar really - tighter ID (good, so it's fits the guide properly), thinner wire (so it's softer), therefore smaller OD (needs an additional coke can sleeve), but a good deal longer (so you get some bounce eliminating preload without going over power)

Excellent. Bet this turns out nicely.
