In general, take the cap off the tube and trim the spring to 9"-11" longer than the mag tube.

Nordic Components MAGAZINE SPRING installation instructions:
 We recommend starting with the following lengths of spring extending past the end of the
  magazine tube as a starting point:
  Auto: 14-16"
  Pump: 8-12"
  Springs can be trimmed down in 1 inch increments to fine tune the magazine spring for
  function.
  After trimming the spring to length, turn both ends down and in, so as not to bind with the
  magazine tube cap or follower.
