DON'T change to more powerful spring. IHP's Piston shear or Trigger material and mechanism is not fit for holding powerful spring. A slap on the stock will make the gun fire!!
If you need more info on this, please wait for my second part on IHP.

Re: Boosting power in Springer
No idea about gsmith spring. No one provided any review of this spring. Can someone give details of this spring? Measurement, performance after 500 shots??chaitu203";p="60334 wrote:thank you lazybones & tirths for your reply,

Re: Boosting power in Springer
G-smith spring is very hard,,,infact upto first 500 shots,its too heavy to load it in case of break barrel rifles.....
i used it for some 2000shots in my local made air rifle...the performance boosted up very much....IF YOU HAVE A STURDY RIFLE,GO FOR THE G-SMITH SPRING....

Tirths: Put in a gsmith spring and piston washer in a friend's national 25 (.22) about six weeks ago. It was done at the Kovi Shop in Bangalore. I used some good lithium grease that I found (available from any Scorpio/M&M showroom).
My friend has now put about 3-400 shots through it. It's definitely harder to cock, but not to the point of distress. The power has increased - I'd guess around 20 percent. I'm sorry I forgot to measure the spring. It appeared to be about the same length and possibly of thinner gauge. The piston seal is of much better quality than the original. Overall, a good buy.
