Guest The Outlaw Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Not sure if he is telling you porkies or not but I always had new seals with a new spring and never seemed to suffer with lost of umph. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr smith Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 It may need a settling in period and different pellets will give different results.Stick a few hundred pellets through it and get it checked again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveieP Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 it's hard to imagine how a spring will make up the extra 2ft lb just by bedding in. It may not sound like a lot of difference but it is substantial What gun is it & what was it putting out before the spring was changed? What spring do they say they put in it? Personally I don't think you can whack a Titan XS spring but even then I'm inclined to refinish the spring ends to a "glass smooth" finish & get some moly grease on those spring ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveieP Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 The Cometa should be producing up near 12 ft/lb. An aftermarket spring would come in at under £20 (it doesn't have to be a Cometa spring as there are equally good & better alternatives) Whilst I accept you would have to pay a fitting charge if you're not happy to do the replacement yourself, it sounds like something is mighty wrong. I'd take it back & complain like hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren m Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 had a similar prob with a cometa , the standard factory springs are **** , mine started at 12 and ended at 9 ftlb . i bought a new spring from chambers cost £7.90 plus post . i fitted it relube it , it now shoots as good as any good springer , its doing 12ftlb with h&n ftt pellets, spot on. where did you buy it , as already said take it back to the shop if not happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
