sometimes the springs on lightnings break you might be better with a new bsa spring and a good pollish and lube before trying to cram a big ugly old ox spring in and spoiling it
Yep standard parts are the best way to go, or splash out on a Vmach kit.
i put an ox accelerator in my omega and despite the reputation it has made my gun a hell of a lot smoother to shoot than with the factory spring, more consistent and smoother to cock with a much faster lock time.
i dont know if anyone who says they;re rubbish have actually tried one recently or if folk are just jumping on the ox hater band wagon...
ps, it did put the rifle at about 14ft/lbs when i first put it in so be careful with power. trim a coil or two off if you have to.
I had a couple of ox springs fitted recently.
On my Transit!

I can count to potato.
chuck the ox spring in the bin,all its worth imho.
as said before...get a standard lightning spring,a v mach kit or send it to tony at sandwell field sports for a tune up at £45.
got an ox in my meteor, it's as smooth as, running at 10.2 flb.
everybody is keen to jump on the heresay of ox springs been bad.
