Question on Main Spring.

[ketan]

Hi Everyone,

A Question in my mind need the answer for the same.

Which main spring is good;one with more cocking effort(say 50lbs or more)?
Or one with light cocking effort.(For Indian Airguns only)
Also pls tell about spring manufacturers rather than G-Smith.

Thanks & Regards
Ketan.

Hi Ketan,

Most times, it'd be something in between.

'Light cocking effort'- Would mean a relatively weak spring (And the resultant lack of oomph)
'More cocking effort'- Would provide the extra oomph but only up to a certain extent...but remember that high tension springs also transfer enormous amounts of stress and shock to the guns receiver components- As a result you'll shorten the life of the operating parts and of course, your gun.

Do keep in kind also that light springs needn't necessarily translate to low power. Well designed and made pistons, seals and operating parts can produce good results with relatively lower tensioned springs.

That's talking only about springs.

Well designed cocking lever mechanisms that take advantage of ideal fulcrum points and good ergonomics as well, make small work of 'heavy' springs.

Hope this helps...ask Mack The Knife... he'll be better placed to tell you better stuff on Air Guns.

Softer springs arent necessarily weaker. But what you get here in the Indian market surely is.

Try Cherokee if you want something different from Gsmith.

frst find out if you air gun can take the stress of a high tension spring .
