gtfreight,

I like my springers to be around 10 - 10.5 ft.lb.

To this end, I fitted a 0.22" Wonky Donky (Mr. Price) service kit into my 0.177" HW99S.

With no compression washer, the rifle put out a hair under 10 ft.lb.

The cocking was much easier than when the rifle was making ca. 11 ft.lb.

In addition, Welsh Willy has had some softer springs made up for his kits - he will happily supply you with a soft HW99 spring and will also cut it to whatever length you would like.

I once needed a -15 mm spring for my TX, and Welsh Will happily supplied it at no extra cost

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards

Russ
