Hw80 spring ?

[joffy]

Having my hw80 project piston lightened just wondering which would be the best spring ....long and soft or short but hard got a new tx mk3 spring here with guides to match .....its .177 with a full length barrel ......getting ready for the next bash

I've not really played much with different springs for an 80. I've been told that the TX spring may not be quite up to the task for this application. However, as you have it already, personally, I'd be tempted to give it a try and see how it goes. I see Will of Welsh Willy fame is now doing a replacement spring of his own design with thinner gauge wire and Monsieur Tinbum, I think, was about ready to launch his own for the 30mm HWs, so you have a good few options to go at.

No answer but for a while I had quite a few HW35's & 80's. Not a tuner myself but experimented weighing pistons & trying different combo's of springs etc etc all just to amuse & baffle me. What I got annoyed about was when looking for a 35 spring it allways turned out to be an 80 one but listed as a 35 simply because it fit. Apparently ?? a 35 spring is softer ?? None of my experiments were conclusive & I've given up springers now due to getting wobbly with age, pity as I fancy a 80 or 35 running at about 6/8ftb for short range plinking so looking at the HW30's

I have a fair few springs here so I will have to experiment

Have a look at the Titan No10+ spring,

3.0mm Wire
31 Coil
21mm O.D
14.6mm I.D

Same as a No 10 but with 5 Extra Coils

How much length has been added over the standard 10 spring ?

What did you end up fitting, Jonathan? One from your existing assortment? Do you know what it was / measurements?
