I'm sure I put a HW95 Spring in one of mine.

Hi, any views on best replacement main spring?
The one coming out is a single unit, I see chambers sells :-
Mainspring-Airgun L/H & R/H Pair, MS017, Airgun Standard Mainspring, Pair (Flat section)
(with the above would anyone say a washer is needed between the spring sections? )
Are these any good?
Any other suggestions? cheaper?
Looking for smooth non harsh action, power not that important but up at 8-9ft/lbs I suppose is about right??
Cheers
John

I found an Airsporter spring worked well in a model B after it had a few coils cut off & the cut face was polished up. Just ensured it didnt get too hot when cut & polished. Not sure what length I cut it to but obviously you need to ensure it doesent bind. Think I allowed about 1.5" of pre load. Might be worth a look at some info on spring conditioning too....?
Thanks for the tips , has anyone tried the pair from chambers?
I tried knibbs, chambers and loads of other springs including the two part spring in my very early BSA's. I find fair few springs too loose on the spring guide which generates more recoil. I settled on the BSA Meteor spring in the end that seems to shoot nice. Also SFS spring is good but needs coils collapsing.

Meteor Mk1 to 5 or cut down Airsporter works for me.
