reggiegun Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hi, Please can someone tell me what the best spring and washer kit is to fit to my supersport. I see that Ox springs are to powerful and reck your rifle. I will be testing the rifle after to make sure it is not over 12 ft pounds.

Jim145 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 If your wanting to make it silky smooth I'd go for a V-Mach tuning kit. http://www.airgunbuyer.com/Showproducts.as...20Tuning%20Kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveieP Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Of course, you don't have to put in an aftermarket spring, nothing wrong with the springs BSA make. V-Match kits at round about £65 aren't cheap but will probably produce the best result & may be easier to fit as the springs don't rely on much preload. Not a fan of the square spring, if they were that flippin' wonderful why don't the manufacturers fit them from the start? If money is tight a Titan XS sping ordered direct from John Knibbs in Shustoke could be a cheaper solution. Their website seems to be permanently "under construction" so be prepared to phone them. It may cost you as little as £17 quid delivered. Titans are round-section, Swedish, chrome-vanadium steel with a PTFE coating. Both my springers have them & as far as I'm concerned (& I have tried a square section spring) they are the dog's danglies of the spring world. As Mr Knibbs Senior is a former BSA man he will know the inside leg measurement of the bloke who made your gun & anything else worth knowing, The replacement springs tend to be a bit longer than the original particularly before they've taken on a "set" so 2 words of caution:- 1) Check the power afterwards. 2) Use a spring compressor, unless you've already got a season ticket for the local A&E Department or think that you already have too many fingers or one eye too many. If in doubt pay a gunsmith to fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully100 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Good morning I have just uprated my mainspring on my Bsa .22 Super Sport . After rebuilding my rifle found it would not fully cock (ie sear won't engage with piston) I originally thought I had not rebuilt the trigger correctly . After looking at various explosive drawings I'm confident that it is correctly rebuilt . Would I need to adjust the trigger tensioning screw to take the extra Spring tension ? Also the new square section Spring is longer than the standard could it be possible that the extra length is stopping the sear engaging ? Any advice would be appreciated cheers gents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
