I am going to be buying another HW95 in .22 from Germany soon and just looking into which spring to buy to bring it up to around 10-11ft/lb. I know the Titan XS no8 is supposed to be for the HW95, but I believe these springs usually need shortening. Looking at the spring chart for the Titan the no7 looks to be the same wire size and has the same ID and OD, its just a bit shorter. Would it be possible to use the No7 and not have the hassle of shortening the spring, or is it too short? I could always use delrin washers to adjust the preload if needs be.

I might also be adding a Tinbum short stroke spacer to the piston if that makes any difference.

Size of the springs according to the chart are:


No7 - 30 coils - 255mm length - 3.3mm thickness - 13.8mm ID - 20mm OD
No8 - 34 coils - 295mm length - 3.3mm thickness - 13.8mm ID - 20mm OD

Thanks
