Oh, I just didn't know that having it more powerfull than 12ft/lbs was illegal I was reccomended to get an ox mainspring as they are "High quality and designed to replace the mainspring in most air rifels". It says on the packet that it fits BSA Lightning (my good ol' gun) and also "Ox mainsprings are built to fantastic quality and precision and are designed to replace the lower quality cheeper manufactures mainspring" so I presumed it would be fine. Which if that would make my gun "unshootable" is just unacceptable. So can I just check if I put it in my BSA Lightning it would: 1) Make my gun "unshootable" and it would loose its accuracy 2) Be Illegal I took it to my gunsmiths and he said he "could" fit it and didn't mention whether it would decrease accuracy etc but he said he would have to "restrict it if he did fit it". This seems the best option so far, but my last few questions are: When he restricts it: how will he restrict it? will it damage my rifle? will it affect accuracy? I really appreciate all the helpfull replies from everyone, thankyou so much. Yours, Jack

OMG so thats why my gunsmith wouldn't do it! so its ilegal! THANK YOU SO MUCH - u saved my ***! I only needed to fit it as my current spring has broken into 2 peices. What do u advise? and how can I check if it's illegal when it is fitted?

I recently purchased an "Ox Mainspring" for "BSA lightning" and have some questions. I took it to my gunsmiths but said if he installed it he would have to restrict it to 12ft/lbs. So here are my questions: 1) How can I put the spring in myself? Do I need any tools? 2) Could my BSA Lightning take the power of the spring (It is the correct specification for my model) if it goes in as it is and increases its power AND MAINTAIN IT'S ACCURACY?
