When cocked the spring dia expands and is effectively loose on the guide,held in position by the sear, and in mine, the rotary thrust needle bearings at the base of the spring.When the sear releases the spring it extends and eventually 'grips' the spring guide at max extention,any rotary movement taken care of by the bearing.
The spring movement mainly is expansion and contraction,with minimal if any slide,if properly arranged. Mine does not seem to suffer from my set up!.Only my imput.
