    was putting a 1j spring (got from cpt price) in my l96, but the spring is to fat to fit in the piston,wont cock even halfway because of this. i really dont feel to great about filling down the piston so will fit, incase messes up if have to put back in orignal spring, im new to the bolt action game so so help needed.

    ps.will try get some pics up later to make things bit clearer

    Measure the internal and external diameter of the old spring, you need a spring with the same dimensions as that.

    I think so, but a spring would be cheaper, far cheaper.

    ok so the inner piston is hollow so the spring gos into it put a spacer into the top of it my problem was finding right 1 used a valve off a gas pistol mag must be the same diamater as the spring so no catching occurs on the spring mine was chronoing at 260 now its at .97 of a joule constant:D
