Isn't it caused by transfer port being too small or is that just the LGU

The TP is much longer on the LGV, so much less of an issue than the short LGU port - in fact, the LGV's is probably abourt right, given you are stuck with that excessive 26mm length...
Wonky Donkey has excellent springs for these.

Well Dave doesn't make the LGV spec spring anymore so I ended up on that German site and ordered the 16j spring that also came with a guide, some small washers and some grease.
When I opened it I didn't think the guide would fit in the spring it was that tight. I got it in, then I couldn't pull it out, not even with pliers!! Luckily there was enough clearance to fit it in the trigger unit, get some abbey gun grease on the spring and retest.
The fact that the original guide would allow the original spring to easily slide up and down yet this new set up was totally fixed, suggested something was different.
10 shot string, 6fps variation and averaging 11.5, not a buzz or twang or anything other than a single ' thwock' on firing! This is how the rifle should have been (and it was still the most accurate springer I had shot!).
I will monitor the power closely as it beds in but what a change. I only wish Umerex did spares in the UK because while it was cheaper than a UK drop in kit, it still set me back £34 to get it here.
I've got the original LGV spring spare if anyone wants it gratis! Drop me a PM.

Good result. Remember also that with a little preload the spring will expand around the guide, and even more so when cocked, so it won't be as tight as it is "uncompressed". But it does sounds a little too tight though. However if it shoots sweet, and is accurate, job done

I seem to remember someone else having the same issue, but LGU and not LGV, and putting it down to a bad batch of springs / variable quality thereof?
Glad you're sorted and happy, Rob.
