I'm new here so take it easy on me

I recently bought a new stronger spring for my sniper. Obviously the bolt pull is going to be tougher. But what I wasn't expecting was the push to change. It's not difficult to push in, but it is noticeably more resistant. The spring I put in was about a centimeter (about two coils) longer than the stock spring. When I switch back to the stock spring, the problem goes away.

So I was wondering, is it normal for the bolt push to change when changing springs? Does this mean something is grinding and will damage the internals? Does a spring have to be the same length as the stock spring to function properly? How would changing the spring even affect the bolt push

It's definitely easy enough to push in to play with, but I just want to make sure I'm not grinding the hell out of the parts and breaking it. Thanks!

Young beetle,

Welcome to the sniper world.
What type of gun have you installed this spring into?

1. If you have a 45 degree trigger this can be normal.

2. The piston will be rubbing more against the cylinder. Depending on the quality of the cylinder will depend on the longevity. What cylinder?

3. A spring does not have to be the same length. So it is quite normal.

4. The piston will get pushed more into the cylinder by the angle of the 45 degree sear.

You are way better off saving money and getting a 90 degree trigger. They cost a lot but they are worth it.

Sorry should have mentioned I'm using the ASG M40A3 Sportline. It's an entry level gun but it is slightly upgradable. Stock cylinder and trigger. The stock trigger is 45 degrees. Looking through forums and youtube, I've found several spring guides and pistons that would fit if I need them to fix this issue.

Good morning!

I had an issue last semester: I bought a spring on-line from a new local brand and tested it.

Without my knowledge the new spring had like half a millimeter more in terms of the wire "radius" and as a result the thing fitted very tightly inside the piston and around the spring guide. The result?

The spring was only partially coiling, squeezed inside the piston, and it was really heavy to cock.

It chronoed around wooping 650 fps and destroyed my bucking in the process.
