[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2823974, member: 10755"] The issue is that a spring that ‘snakes’ into a wavy position when cocked, and binds inside the bolt changes the harmonics on every firing differently. Early REM 700’s were notorious for this, so people were cutting coils out and doing silly things that made it worse. I don’t remember the name of the company now, they were the first to offer aftermarket springs that were either the same poundage as OEM, no binding and a different coil diameter using CS (carbon silicon) steel. They also offered different poundage springs, which I used myself in my comp rifles, but it was years ago that I fitted them. The reason the lengths differ is because just like a valve spring on an engine, different batches of steel will have a different poundage when compressed, this how they get the correct poundage, through the length or number of coils. Hope this helps. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
