ErikW Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 (edited) One camp thinks a recoil spring has no use besides feeding rounds and extracting cases. Another camp thinks a recoil spring determines muzzle flip, sight tracking, and point of impact in double-taps and fast multiple shots. Another camp thinks a recoil spring determines the overall feel of the gun. General theory and operation: Recoil Spring vs Cyclic Rate Recoil spring weights Effect on sight tracking, hits on target: spring observations Okay it's true...lighter IS better! Is lighter better? spring weight & effect on sight picture Effect on feeding: Recoil spring to strong for SWC Bullets? Clipping coils: Clipping Recoil Springs? effects of too-long recoil spring Edited June 27, 2003 by Erik Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
