Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Variable power springs
Posted: 12/30/2006 2:43:15 PM EDT
I got 2 of these things laying around, 18.5lbs, same as my standard one...I'm about due for a replacement and I'm wondering if I should put this in, or just pick up a standard one instead...

Are these things good to go or do they just cause problems?

If you are using it to replace a standard wound 18# you should be good to go.
In my 5in guns I use 16.5 variable with no problems to replace the original 16# springs.

I just replaced all of mine with 17lb. conventional springs.  I was not sure of the whole conventional vs. variable debate, but this helped.

ETA:  You hvae to look under the FAQ in the link.
