BARRYJ Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Can you put a recoil spring in backwards. I noticed that both ends are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Mitch Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The small (closed) end goes on the guide rod, the open end goes in the plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Bob Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The small (closed) end goes on the guide rod, the open end goes in the plug Correct. On my guns, if the spring is inadvertently put in backwards, I can't push the spring plug in all the way. A sure sign I reversed the spring when reassembling the gun.

BARRYJ Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 I went to the range this morning and proved this to myself. Shot five rounds off a rest at ten paces, then took out the spring and put it in backwards. The group size almost doubled with the spring in backwards. No wonder I couldn't hit anything at that match a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
