Spring differences

[Dimitri]

Heh, I find the hardest part is putting back the trigger with it's spring while holding down the cylinder, spring guide and the gear box half.

The Version 3 can be tightened nearly all the way up before putting in the trigger unit. Making it a wee bit easier.

It is like a helping hand. Although, it has been a while since I did my G3, so I may be just imaging the difficulty.

Depends on the brand, I agree sometimes it's impossible to hold both the trigger and anti-reversal latch in at the same time, but it's much worse when it's a V3 that you're trying to hold the trigger in lol
On a V2 if the trigger pops out, you can pop it back it with one hand without opening the mechbox completely. I think it was an ARES V3 I had the most frustrating time with

Must have been because the G3 was the first time I opened up a gearbox then.

I tried 5-6 Element M95 springs from 3 different source, and they looks like from at least 2 differnt batches, all of them are in the 370-390 fps range (depends on the gun), feel more like M115 rather than M95.
The consistency actually suprised me for a $2 spring. Not sure how long they will keep the FPS though.

Girlfriend: "It feels like a pain even watching you doing that. Here, I will hold this cylinder while you do that."

I'll find out in a few hours, will head to UA and get it chrono'ed.

The spring felt weaker then the stock spring in the SIG when I had them both out in my hands.

I am going to hope for the best.

The spring worked and I gamed with it yesterday.
