Westley Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Does anyone know of a UK stockists for a Beretta 303 recoil/main spring. I can get a 391 spring, but regardless of what stockists will tell you, they are NOT the same. It's looking like I will have to send to Italy. Thanks. W.

Velocette Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 I've got one here that I took out of a 302 that measures 44cm (17 5/16" ) . I was replacing a lot of parts trying to cure a fault so it may still have some life in it until a new one is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that spring you have is the 391 spring, that is around 1" shorter than a 303 spring when New. I know, I was sold one a few years ago 🙄 50 minutes ago, ilovemyheckler said: Have you tried contacting GMK? No, the last time I tried them I was told to go through my local dealer ??

Westley Posted February 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 This spring is not for me, a friend that I taught to shoot and helped him get his first gun has a problem with a cracked cocking rod. That has been welded but I suspect the cause to be the main spring being too weak. I propose to use the newish spring from my 303, to keep him shooting and then source a couple of new ones.

vmaxphil Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 If that's the spring that goes into the stock I think I've still got a new one I'll check later, PM me if you want it and we'll sort out a price 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall keep that just in case anything else should occur. I put a new locking block in a 300 that I have, but again, I put the damage of that down to the spring needing renewing. The one in my 300 was almost 2" shorter than a new spring. Some suppliers have been selling 390 onwards springs for 300 to 303 guns and they are too short.
