Pure physics dictates that you will always have recoil in a spring (or gas) piston powerplant. However, this can be reduced in many ways, by tweaking the internals and/or increasing weight and altering the weight distribution to give more favourable movement characteristics.
I've mentioned a few times on here of one particular LGV that starkly demonstrated the twist you mention. I also opined at the time that I believe this phenomenon to be more illustrated in guns with rotating pistons. In all fairness, that rifle shot beautifully. Very little perceived recoil and a very quiet action. Shooting at a 20 yards indoor club range with a high mag scope and the twisting effect was very prominent. Certainly not knocking it as it was accurate and forgiving to shoot. Making sure those spring ends are square and true, polished and with the addition of some polished steel washers, or Delrin items, will hopefully reduce this.
